大家好，我是Monica。
Hello, I’m Monica.

2012年，一位朋友向我推薦了一個黏土手工班，問我是否願意一起參加。我當時欣然答應，結果在完成了第一堂課後，我便深深地迷上了這門手工藝。

In 2012, a friend recommended a clay crafting class and invited me to join. I happily agreed—and after completing my very first class, I completely fell in love with this delicate and creative art form.

雖然這項興趣花費不菲，無論是材料、工具還是迷你食玩，都需要不少開支，但我對這份興趣的熱愛絲毫未減。
Although this hobby requires a significant investment in materials, tools, and miniature accessories, my passion for clay art has never faded.

有趣的是，我常常能用食物模型的照片欺騙不少人。有一次，我給母親一個1:1比例的巧克力模型，她差點真的咬了一口。

Interestingly, my clay food models often fool quite a few people—especially in photos. Once, I gave my mother a 1:1 scale chocolate model, and she almost took a real bite!

總而言之，這個興趣帶給我無數的快樂。雖然製作過程有時會頗具挑戰，也需要大量的耐心，但完成後的滿足感是難以言喻的，我總是迫不及待地想與他人分享這份喜悅。
In short, this hobby has brought me countless moments of joy.
The creative process can be challenging and requires a great deal of patience, yet the sense of fulfillment upon completing a piece is indescribable—and I’m always eager to share that joy with others.

儘管有朋友建議我考慮進行作品零售，但這並非我所嚮往的方向。相反地，我發現加拿大似乎缺乏黏土手工藝的老師，因此萌生了將所學技能分享給更多黏土愛好者的想法。自2025年起，我便投入了這份副業（因為我還有一份全職工作），一邊進修，一邊參加海外的師資課程，希望能在加拿大推廣黏土手作。未來的路或許仍充滿未知，但這是我的興趣，我想嘗試一下！

Although friends have suggested that I consider selling my work, this is not the direction I aspire to pursue. Instead, I realized that there seems to be a lack of clay craft instructors in Canada, which inspired me to share the skills I have learned with more clay enthusiasts. Since 2025, I have been dedicating myself to this passion as a side endeavor (as I still hold a full-time job), continuing my studies while participating in overseas teacher training courses, with the hope of promoting clay crafting in Canada. The road ahead may be uncertain, but this is something I truly enjoy, and I want to give it a try.

如果你對黏土手工藝感興趣，歡迎報名參加我的課程！我專長於黏土食物模型製作。我來自香港，所以課程以粵語進行，但如果有需要，我也可以考慮用普通話或英語授課。另外，我也希望能透過黏土呈現更多富有香港特色的美食。不過時間有限，研發得比較慢，還請大家多多包涵，哈哈！

If you’re interested in clay crafts, you’re very welcome to join my classes! I specialize in creating miniature clay food models. As I’m originally from Hong Kong, the classes are primarily conducted in Cantonese. However, if needed, I can also consider teaching in Mandarin or English. I also hope to use clay to recreate more dishes that are uniquely Hong Kong–inspired. That said, with limited time, the development process is a bit slow. Thank you so much for your understanding. Haha.

Facebook 和 Instagram 那裡有更多其他作品的照片, 歡迎點進去看看 ~~
There are more photos of my work on Facebook and Instagram. Feel free to check them out!

P.S. 至於我為什麼取名「橙圈手作」，僅僅是因為喜歡橙色和橙子的緣故。 ^o^

P.S. As for why I chose the name “Orangio Craft”, it’s simply because I love the color orange and oranges. ^o^
