Celebrating Lunar New Year with Miniature Artist Jocelyn Teo Ai Wei

To see how the Instagram community is celebrating the holiday, check out #LunarNewYear.

Jocelyn Teo Ai Wei (@aiclay) just baked pineapple tarts for #LunarNewYear. Now, she’ll re-create the tasty treats with her signature tiny replicas. “I think the obsession with food is universal,” says the Singapore-based food sculptor who started crafting with polymer clay in 2009. “People are naturally drawn to things outside of the usual scale, larger or smaller than life.” Her creations have become so popular that Jocelyn’s fans are eager to make them, too. She recently hosted two Lunar New Year workshops where participants created their own pineapple tarts, mandarin oranges and a layered cake called kueh lapis, all festive Lunar New Year goodies.

For Jocelyn, the holiday marks a time to take a break from the studio: “My favorite part is meeting up with my family, cousins, aunts and all. It’s the time of year when everyone puts aside their work and the festive mood is just tingling in the air.”
