My name is Lynn, Chou Kei Rin is not my real name. It is the Japanese name found for me by a Japanese student of ours.
I'm a third generation family trained potter in Singapore and I work in my family's pottery studio. Although I have been exposed to clay/pottery since I was a child, I've only officially started going into this line in end 2010. A visit to Japan the same year opened a new perspective on pottery for me.
In Oct 2011, I held my first exhibition (Ceramix 2011 - Simply Clay) together with 15 other hobby potters.

Rude
I have relatives that are so blunt and rude it’s hard to even pretend that I didn’t hear it. I feel like a bottle that is almost filled to the brim, probably one day I might just explode in front of all of them and things would just get awfully ugly.
Seriously, what’s so fun about putting others down? It’s disrespectful. Even if they are much older than me, as long as they don’t recognize the basic form of respect, I don’t think they deserve respect from me.
Things to be done (9 May 2012)
1) Start an Etsy shop, or a portfolio site, or both.
2) Start reading up on glazes, firing, clay, pottery in general.
3) Start a “A-teapot-a-day” project, or a “5-cups-a-day” project. Whichever.
Mom wants to publish a 400 teapot book. 200 hers, 200 mine. Quite a target. We’ll see when I can hit that target. Hee hee.
