• Stamp carving – Parade Made

Day 29: The Great Wall, Beijing, China . Walls are contentious in today’s context, so (though I really do wanna scale the Great Wall one day!) . PS. It is a myth that the Great Wall of China can be seen from the moon.. according to the internet, you can barely even make out the continents way up there #handcarvedstamp #parademade #100cornersoftheworld

A post shared by Jiahui Zheng (@parade.made) on Nov 26, 2018 at 7:54am PST

Parade Made is the brainchild of self-taught stamp carving artist Jia Hui, who began her stamp-carving journey in 2011 and hasn’t turned back since. Apart from selling whimsical stamps and custom pieces, she also conducts workshops! A certified stamp-making instructor with Hankeshikun in Japan, Jia Hui’s workshops cover stamp-carving fundamentals, stamp designing, cutting techniques, as well as inking and printing methods. We think that’s a great deal that’s pretty hard to resist.

Fees: SGD20 per pax for corporate workshops, 105 per pax for themed stamp carving workshops (includes a DIY stamp-carving kit)
