A picture paints a thousand words - this website is aimed at sharing photographs of Chinese traditional lions and dragons at various stages in the making as well as some of my practice and completed pieces as I learnt the art through trial and error. Visitors can view my interpretations of these creatures commonly seen during Chinese festivities and have a glimpse into how they are constructed.

Making lion's heads as my absorbing hobby started some sixteen years ago. Then twelve, I was mesmerised by attractive lions that moved up and down, blinked their eyes and flapped their ears during a Lunar New Year performance. I decided that I must make one for myself.

To my dismay, the thought of learning the skill through a master would not be realised - families in the trade have closely guarded the art. Eventually, my interest saw me through learning the art by trial and error. Along the way, I also picked up the skill of making dragons.
