About Ng Si Ying (@atinymaker)

Ng Si Ying grew up doing art and crafts with her mother and went into visual communication studies to become a graphic designer. It was on a casual visit with a friend to one of Singapore's oldest rattan shops, that she discovered rattan and fell in love with it. After her first visit, she returned several times to this shop, until eventually, the two veteran rattan weavers agreed to teach her their craft. She spent one year learning rattan chair weaving restoration with them. Her interest in rattan grew stronger and developed into a passion for finding new ways of using rattan. Now, Si Ying is exploring new applications for her craft, combining it with other materials such as ceramic. Her work introduces a new aesthetic that breaks away from what we commonly see with rattan, in a very poetic manner.
