Rick Li Daifeng, graduated with a MA in Conservation Studies (Ceramic) from West Dean College, Chichester, England in 2021. Before studying in England, he worked as a senior manager at a construction/ manufacturing company in Singapore.
Through continual self-improvement and experience gained over the years as a conservator, he is capable of providing quality restoration services to customers. His clientele consists of both local and regional art collectors and professionals.
Guided by values
Studying in an Arts conservation-specialised West Dean College, Chichester, England had equipped him with the necessary skillset to restore ceramics and related objects. Through practical and theoretical lessons guided by highly trained and experienced tutors, he had gained the knowledge to restore a wide variety of ceramic objects.
The teaching curriculum of the MA Conservation course in West Dean College is aligned with the UK ICON (Institute of Conservation) standards, which are recognised globally.
Driven by passion
Rick’s passion for bonding and painting objects began in his teenage years. Fascinated by Japanese anime (animation) series in the 90s, he bought those garage kits and plastic figures which required assembling and adhesive bonding. Once bonded with adhesives, these kits would be coloured with enamel paints.
Those hobby sessions trained him to have a keen eye for colour sensitivity (matching with the anime colour scheme) and bonding skills, which laid the foundation for his current career.
