About Jewelry Making
IN JEE INSPIRE, we view jewelry making more than hobby-craft or passing time. The making process is an art itself, similar to performing a Japanese tea ceremony or playing the Go (board game, known as Weiqi in Chinese). Most of JEE Modules in jewelry making include a buffet setting of materials in over 200 variety of semi-precious stones, crystals, glass, porcelain in various shapes, sizes and colors. Every learner is encouraged to choose the material that appeals the most to him/her and create a desired piece using the new methods taught during lesson.
About the Founders
The founders are a husband-wife team, K.C. and Wei Leng. Prior to teaching jewelry making, K.C. is a professional choreographer in performing arts and dance for 18 years. As part of his job, K.C. needed to find suitable accessories for the performances. However, most of the time, he could not find elaborate and yet light accessories for the dancers. So he had to make most of them instead. His creations turned out to be very innovate and beautiful that the dancers wanted to buy from him after the last performance had ended.
Unlike KC with artistic background, Wei Leng was a graduate from Nanyang Technological University of Singapore (NTU). She worked as a system analyst for 3 years before deciding a career switch was needed to achieve true job satisfaction. Then she tried outdoor sales, bridal make-up artist and beautician. Gradually, she realized her passion has all along being in accessories. Since secondary school days, she would spent hours looking at every interesting pieces, both in costume and fine jewelry. Upon realization, she started making and selling her own jewelry creations and to her surprise, it works!
As a common trait of Singaporean's ability to adapt and reinvent, K.C and Wei Leng have used various methods of jewelry making from Japan, Australia, Thailand and Taiwan and incorporated the techniques in the courses.
