About Us
Studio Tomo is a cosy pottery studio where play meets clay. Inspired by the Japanese word tomodachi (友達), meaning "friend," we believe that craft isn’t just about creating — it’s about preserving tradition and inviting the new.
Discover a new hobby with new friends, create for yourself or for your loved one, there's always a place for you here at Studio Tomo, a safe space for you to make a mess, and memories.
About our Founder
Jean Adrienne is a Singapore-based ceramic artist and educator whose work moves fluidly between form and feeling, exploring vessels and sculptural pieces shaped by themes of balance and chaos. A longtime mentee of master potter Dr. Iskandar Jalil, she now continues to develop works of her own and has taken part in several group and solo shows. She has also worked with notable brands including Massimo Dutti, Aesop, Vogue Singapore, and Glenfiddich.
Fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean, Jean trained extensively in Japan and Korea under respected mentors including Kato Hiroshige, Takeuchi Shingo, and Hwang Insung. Her practice is rooted in traditional North Asian techniques yet continually pushes toward experimentation and new modes of expression. She has taught at NAFA across both Diploma and BA levels, designing structured syllabi that emphasise foundational technique, discipline, and the refinement of skill.
