4.30 pm – 5 pm Tour of NAFA Gallery, Skylight Studio and possibly the Jewelry Workshop

The group was guided by Ms Carol Sim Soek Cheng , Director (Information Resources & Technology).  We have the afternoon visit extended till 6pm as we enjoyed the viewing of the special collection on Local Artists Catalogue, the talk to the student artists, the Instructor of the Jewelry Course and many other unexpected sight of various NAFA studio/gallary. 

At the end of the visit and tour, we are given a table of Art books for our selection.  Even though all of us are tire and exhausted after the full afternoon programme, most of us are overjoyed to bag many heavy volumn of books home.

Thanks to NAFA and Ms Carol Sim for making the day filled with visual treats. The tangible reward of our visit are bags of valuable art books which is hard to afford or obtain in the bookshop for most of us. 

If you miss this visit, the NAFA web site http://www.nafa.edu.sg/ may give you some good information to fill you gap.  Yet, nothing can replace a real visit and I am glad to be with the group today!
