Review Body: Dirty Hands Only is such a gem in the bustling city. If I had not searched for "pottery classes near orchard", I wouldn't really have realized that there was one (and perhaps the only) tucked in this scenic neighborhood. I didn't get to take photos of the hard work I put in while at class today but it was such a delightful time learning pottery and how to make my own ceramic mug and bowl. I think the price for the class per person is reasonable, the teacher is awesome and very artistic, it's almost zen when you're at it, and you get to take your creations home! Furthermore you are treated with a great view of the city center. Definite recommend. By the way, check out the website. Dirty Hands Only also sells beautifully handcrafted ceramics.

Review Body: The outdoor rooftop studio is located in a convenient location with easy and free parking, and a direct lift up. There was shelter and fan, so just dress lightly- no issue for my 12 year old daughter and myself, and we were comfortable. Tiffany was lovely-very friendly and helpful. We got to to two pieces of clay works each- One hand moulded and the other wheel thrown. So we made a small bowl and a mug each. 2 hours was sufficient to learn the basics and with casual chatting along the way. Even tho Pottery wasn’t as easy as it looked at the beginning, we soon got the hang of it by then end of 2 hours under Tiffany’s instruction and some hand holding, and we can’t wait to book the next class to glaze our new clay works!

Review Body: I liked the private lesson and of course, Tiffany was pleasant and friendly. She even helped to take some pics of us during the workshop as our hands were full. I just wished I had more time. Maybe 3 hours would be just right.. The ambience was good, the workshop was held on a roof terrace. Remember to wear loose and light clothing since there won't be ac. I picked this particular workshop after viewing their website and falling in love with the glazing style. Can't wait to receive my work. Pretty sure the beautiful glazing will outdo my crooked bowl!

Review Body: We had booked a 2 hour session with Tiffany at Dirty hands for clay sculpting and wheel pottery with my husband and daughter. The clay sculpting was truly therapeutic as you mould and build a crockery item out of clay. The pottery on wheel is very exciting and something everyone should definitely try. You learn to be patient and gentle as you try to build your pots on the wheel. I would highly recommend Dirty hands as Tiffany is professional, warm and makes pottery enjoyable at the same time. Will definitely come again.

Review Body: Tiffany was really friendly and helpful. I had booked a session for my 8 yr old girl and my sister to bond and have fun together. We were new to both hand building pottery and wheel pottery but still managed to come up with two pieces at the end of the 2 hour session. More time would probably be needed for people who have had no experience before. We felt it was a bit rushed but nevertheless a very good and enjoyable experience! Looking forward to our final pieces after Tiffany has glazed them!

Review Body: Went tgt with my partner as a gift for him for us to do something new & different tgt. Absolute fun & very hands on experience, loved that we had our space to work out our piece without much reliance on instructor but don't worry, they are always around for help if needed! My partner felt a little stress some point trying hard to mold his piece but still was fun & enjoyable for him too. Definitely a must go & get to keep our own little making!

Review Body: It was an awesome experience for both my sister and me, thanks to Tiffany. She was friendly and provided good guidance for us to work on both hand building and wheel throwing. I love how we could try out both within the 2 hours without feeling rushed. I think this package is super value for money. We get to try both methods, keep two pieces of our work with a selection of glazes to choose.

Review Body: Thank you Tiffany for the fantastic experience! It's a first time we're trying pottery. Given the Covid restrictions, group size was limited to 2 so it was essentially a private workshop for us. It's a small & cozy studio with laid back vibes, feels as though we are visiting a friend rather than attending a workshop. Super therapeutic and look forward to receiving our pieces!

Review Body: I signed up this session without any expectations and to have fun with my friend. It was meant to be a birthday surprise for my friend and because of the element of surprise, the session of pulling and wheeling was even more fun. We found this therapeutic and Tiffany, our instructor, conducted her class with professionalism and helpfulness.

Review Body: We went as a group of 4. It was a small studio but we loved how cosy it was and Tiffany was great! It was extremely a stress free workshop with no rules. We got to work on our own ceremics while Tiffany guided us with the dos and donts. Overall, I would highly recommend sessions with Dirty Hands Only. We had alot of fun!

Review Body: Tiffany was great with my two girls (7&10), they enjoyed learning both techniques which she patiently demonstrated and explained. There was enough time for them to learn and practice the skills as well as make a couple of items each. It was a very cool and creative setting with a nice breeze and great music. Thanks!

Review Body: Tiffany is very experienced at what she does. When demonstrating, she made things look incredibly easy but when trying it ourselves, it was definitely a challenge. Nonetheless, it was a great first-time experience thanks to Tiffany, and we will definitely return to glaze the pieces we made during this session.

Review Body: The instructor gave us an overview of how things were made and helped us do it by ourselves. The techniques she taught were also easy to follow and we ended up making memorable unique pieces we get to call the ceators of. Overall it was a great experience which helped bonding with my mother too.

Review Body: It was an amazing experience. Learning both methods of pottery making was quite insightful. It was humbling to learn that making pieces using a pottery wheel is not as easy as it looks. Overall a fun experiences to share with friends. Would totally recommend it!
