Teeny Tiny Botanical: handmade miniature clay plants, inspired by real ones, made in Singapore

Philodendron Gloriosum

A velvet-leaf aroid from the forests of Colombia. Mine is air dry clay, wire and paint.

I don't even own one. I simply wanted to see if I could make it. Turns out, I could.

One tiny leaf at a time.

The Making

Hand-sculpted start to finish by one person, from air dry clay, floral wire and paint, with a needle tool.

If you know me, you know patience has never been my strongest personality trait. And yet somehow I've spent years making plants that fit between two fingers.

The Final Collection*

*Every time I say "final", another plant shows up uninvited.

Viola, in eight colours

The plan was four colours. Then my brain went, "But what if… double?"

Ridiculously large. For a miniature.

Took more patience than I officially have.

Nadirah, the maker behind Teeny Tiny Botanical, looking down at her work.

Nadirah

Artist from Singapore. Runs on a little clay, a lot of patience and slightly questionable sanity.

It started with dollhouses. I couldn't find tiny plants good enough for them, so I made my own. Then the plants took over.

Every piece is sculpted by hand from air dry clay, wire and paint, by one person, so there are only ever a few of each. Small differences between them aren't mistakes. That's how you can tell a human made it.

Looking for a specific plant, or a gift with a note tucked in? I take made-to-order requests too.

Make one yourself. Bring a friend.

A workshop table where several people shape their own small clay plants in tiny terracotta pots.

Clay workshops

Small groups, first-timers welcome.

Half the room were regulars, half were first-timers. A few went off-script and designed their own plants. Hidden talent unlocked before lunchtime.

Workshops run a few times a year, plus kids' sessions like Little Clay Gardeners. Message me and I'll tell you when the next one is.

Questions people ask

What are they made of?

Air dry clay, wire and paint. Every leaf is sculpted and painted by hand.

Why are there only a few of each?

I make every plant from scratch and work solo, so production is small on purpose. Follow @teenytinybotanical to hear about new pieces first.

Are there imperfections?

Sometimes, tiny ones. They're handmade, and I think that's part of the charm.

Can I send one as a gift?

Absolutely. I can include a personalised note with your order.

How do I order?

Through the shop on this site, or send me a DM on Instagram.

How can I pay?

Credit card or PayNow.

Delivery or collection?

Either. You'll see the options when you place your order.

Your shelf is missing something small.

A plant that never needs watering and never sulks about the light. Pick one. Or eight. I won't judge.
