The Glass Studio & Tan Sock Fong

Posted by cmgaylard on June 13, 2009 at 8:15 AM

Tan Sock Fong is the glass artist who is part of the Emily Hill co-operative and is behind the Glass Studio. Here's a bit of bio from herself:

'Sock Fong graduated from the University of Wolverhampton, UK, with a Bachelor (Hons) in Art and Design, specializing in Glass Art and Printmaking. Her specialties include creating glass sculptures and designing feature walls for hotels, restaurants, offices, and homes. Some of her art pieces have been installed at Schott Glass (Singapore), Four Seasons Hotel, and The Paterson Edge condominium.

 Sock Fong has also designed numerous trophies and plaques for award ceremonies, including the ?SIA-Philips Green Innovation Awards? trophy 2008, the ?Singapore Green Plan 2012 Awards? glass plaque (commissioned by the National Environment Agency in 2004), the Brainiest Kid television programme trophy (commissioned in 2003), and the Asian Television Awards trophy. In fact, the human form sculpture that she designed for the Asian Television Awards has been used from 1996 until today.

 

Her glass creations have been exhibited at the National Library, the Singapore Art Museum, Art-2 Gallery, Utterly Art Gallery, the National Museum Art Gallery, Emily Hill, the IBM Art Awards Exhibition, LaSalle-SIA College of the Arts, and Midlands Art Center (Birmingham, UK). With her intimate knowledge of art glass, she has taught at LaSalle College of the Arts and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. In addition, she regularly conducts workshops and delivers talks.
