SPADICE

"The stars will never be won by little minds; we must be big as space itself." ~Robert A. Heinlein SPADICE (Surface Pattern Art & Design Interdisciplinary Collaborative Effort) Established in 2021, SPADICE is a new project concept initiated by its founder Tan Haur (Singapore) during the COVID-19 pandemic, whereby many art educators are facing quite a fair bit of challenges in the physical classroom teaching & learning, as well as brick-and-mortar space to showcase and share the artistic effort of the creators. The key idea of SPADICE is to enable the participants to have a feel of how their two-dimensional drawing (digital/ conventional media) can be transformed and realized in the form of a 3-D product after attending Tan Haur's NAC AEP courses and visual art workshops. As for phase one of the SPADICE project (November 2021 - 31st March 2022), the team is working with the Rainbow Centre (Margaret Drive School), River Valley High School, and Anderson Serangoon Junior College as a start. This project is to let the students experience a full journey from their learning to art creation and virtual presentation. SPADICE also works with several guests, including SEPs, musicians, artists with special needs, designers, crafters, and independent art creators who specialize in areas with their right and churn out something new with the surface pattern design methodology and craft technology via collaborative effort. Over this growing platform, we encourage communication, suggestions, and future collaboration. Together, we’ll be able to improve, grow, and benefit everybody in a long run. Hence, SPADICE encompasses a complete journey started from curriculum design, teaching, learning, drawing, painting, pattern-designing, printing, and crafting till finished 3-D products for sharing. We welcome your constructive input as well as all forms of support. Thank you very much!

Applied Arts Workshop - for Students with Special Needs

It was wonderful to conduct the Applied Art workshops for a group of talented students with special needs. I am exploring a variety of design concepts and developments with the students' artwork, for their 2-D artistic visual language to be appreciated through multiple 3-D products.

Sewing Happiness: A Series of Fun & Simple Fabric Collage Projects for Learning Great & Living Well.

Project of 2017

“Blossom Colours of Life” is a community art project co-created by Singaporean artist, Tan Haur, with patients of Jurong Community Hospital. Strolling down memory lane with the patients, the artist gathered heart-warming stories of senior participants through simple heartfelt conversations and craft sessions and translated them into a visual journal of 15 colourful fabric collage artworks. The art-making process encourages patients to revisit those nostalgic scenes of yesteryears and reminisce about their favourite food, the simple life and the good old kampong days. Stories were stitched together to form intricate fabric collages of iconic landmarks like the former National Theatre and objects like Tingkat and rotary dial phone – each rekindling a connection between the past and the present. The pattern-rich art pieces adorn the walls of Jurong Community Hospital, bringing to life stories and experiences of our shared heritage and history that would allow patients to relive fond memories and be inspired with hope and optimism.

[ About the Artist ]
Multidisciplinary Singaporean artist, Tan Haur, spent most of his childhood at his grandmother’s dressmaking studio near Boat Quay playing with stacks of fabrics and nitty-gritty sewing tools. Inspired by his mother (a seamstress) and wife (an arts and crafts trainer), Tan incorporates sewing and crafting in his artistic practices. Tan graduated from the Australian National University (College of Arts & Social Sciences) in 2007 and has since worked with various social groups and organizations on collaborative art projects.

The art of Woodblock printing 木版画

Woodblock printing in Japan (Japanese: 木版画, moku hanga) is a technique best known for its use in the ukiyo-e artistic genre; however, it was also used very widely for printing books in the same period. Woodblock printing had been used in China for centuries to print books, long before the advent of movable type, but was only widely adopted in Japan surprisingly late, during the Edo period (1603-1867).

The art of Batik making 蜡染

Batik is both an art and a craft, which is becoming more popular and well known in the West as a wonderfully creative medium. The art of decorating cloth in this way, using wax and dye, has been practiced for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there. The word batik originates from the Javanese tik and means to dot.
