Cheah Yeow Seng’s enduring love for pottery started 30 years ago. He was studying accountancy when pottery classes at Kuala Lumpur College gave him the opportunity to explore his creative side. “I just fell in love,” Mr. Cheah said, “Clay is very special. It’s a soft, flexible material, but once it’s hardened, it’s set. It also has its limitations—if you’re working small, the clay can take on any shapes you want, but anything on a larger scale needs more technical things to make it work.”
