About Us

Our Story

Create Art with Our Hearts

Tinkle Arts is a social enterprise that holds art workshops, events and creates miniature clay art at our humble studio in Singapore. Founded in 2000 by clay artist Charlene, we have evolved from a simple hobby to a prominent social enterprise that serves less-privileged communities. We have taught in more than 100 schools, associations and clubs in Singapore.

Through collaboration with MINDS (Movement of Intellectually Disabled of Singapore) in late 2017, we employ persons with special needs to co-facilitate workshops, events and create beautiful miniature clay art pieces for Tinkle Arts. We currently have 6 special needs employees. Your support helps to promote a more inclusive society and creates sustainable employment for persons with special needs.

Our products are also currently available in Singapore National Museum, Asian Civilisation Museum, Malay Heritage Centre, Indian Heritage Centre, Floral Fantasy Shop and Conservatory Shop in Gardens by The Bay and as well as Krisshop.com

We believe in using our clay craft skills to benefit a cause and we hope that you can continue to support us as we grow to serve better.
