Our group consultating with Tamae and Eitaro.
Interesting assorted materials such as leaves and kueh-making
moulds were brought into the studio as catalysts for experimentation.
The sky was the limit and we knew that whatever we wanted to do, we
were not judged and in fact our endeavours would be well supported
by Eitaro and Tamae. The passionate and loving Keyakismos (as the
artist duo calls themselves) have shown us what a joyful classroom, full
of inquisitive and excited students should look like. It was so enjoyable,
most of us came in earlier on the last 2 days to work more intently on
our artworks.

This CAPS! workshop experience has inspired some of us to collaborate
and create a printmaking installation piece for the aedge 2019 art
exhibition. As a collective, we hope to use printmaking as a visual
language to explore and express our individual identities and our
group identity as part of a greater social community.
