Resist Slip-Casting
is an approach for creating textures on slip-cast ceramic objects. By applying waterproof sticker patterns to the surface of the slip-casting mold, we can selectively vary the rate of clay deposition. We developed this technique and applied it to a range of artifacts, including interactive devices, tactile graphics, and home products.
We will be presenting this work at CHI 2025 on Wednesday, 30 April, 3:10 PM, Annex Hall F205. This work also received an 🏅 Honorable Mention award!
Crafting Interactive Paper
Paper is an ancient composite material. We explored traditional Chinese papermaking for its potential in crafting interactive composites, adapting the process to incorporate functional materials such as conductive fibers, natural color-changing compounds, and bioplastics.

Singapore Design Week 2024
We showcased a variety of projects at Singapore Design Week 2024 with partners from our community. This includes outcomes from the SMAKE! workshops that we ran with Alexandra Primary School investigating designing video game controllers from unwanted household items, as well as Reciproco, an interactive ceramic installation built together with artist Genevieve Ang.
