With Every Bead

One of the short documentary pieces we had to do for a video production course in 2006. This video features a traditional Peranakan beaded shoe-maker, Mr Robert Sng. Mr Sng, who owns a shop near Bugis, is one of only four such shoe-makers in Singapore.

@suspinz02 erm. i recently did an interview with Mr Sng and he mentioned that it takes 7 hours to complete the lessons (1st is 5 hours, 2nd is 2). you can try to contact him at his shop number +6562952328 between 10am-6pm Singapore time. hope this helps. :)

I've recently been to northern and western China and want to return...now I find I must go to Singapore, too! Is it possible to learn both the beading and the shoemaking within the time frame of a reasonable visit from the US? (I already do beading with 15/0 beads.). Is it possible for me to be in contact with the teacher?
