<p>Jean Toh started Baisimu in 2010, carving out a quiet corner for traditional crafts in the modern world. She hand-makes stone seals and rubber stamps, often adding a local flavour with designs that feature Peranakan shophouses, Ang Ku Kueh, and curry puffs. Jean’s work blends the old with the new, keeping heritage alive in a way that feels fresh and personal. She also hosts workshops, sharing her skills in stone seal carving and stamp-making with anyone curious to give it a go. Jean’s approach is thoughtful and down-to-earth, shaped by years of hands-on practice and a real connection to the culture around her.</p>
