Question 1

Are pottery classes in Singapore suitable for beginners and tourists with no prior experience?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many pottery studios in Singapore offer beginner-friendly classes tailored for tourists. These classes often include step-by-step guidance and short sessions, ideal for travellers exploring local arts. To enrich your experience, try timing your class during weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds, and come prepared with a camera to capture your creative journey. Some studios also offer customised group sessions, perfect for friends or family on holiday who want a hands-on cultural experience.

Question 2

What should I wear to a pottery class in Singapore, and are there facilities for photography during the session?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable, casual clothing that you don’t mind getting slightly dirty, as working with clay can be messy. Many studios provide aprons, but layering clothing for protection is wise. Photography is usually welcome; some studios have designated areas or large windows allowing natural light, perfect for capturing your creative process. Always ask your instructor beforehand if photography is permitted during specific demonstrations to ensure you respect the studio’s policies.

Question 3

Are there local ceramic styles or techniques I should look out for during my pottery classes in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Singaporean pottery often incorporates traditional Asian influences, with designs inspired by Peranakan motifs and modern blends of Chinese and Malay artistic elements. Look out for techniques such as ‘glazing with local minerals’ or incorporating cultural symbols like the hibiscus or lotus into your creations. Participating in classes that focus on these local styles offers a unique opportunity to photograph authentic craftsmanship and take home customised souvenirs that reflect Singapore's rich cultural tapestry.

Question 4

Can I find short, affordable pottery workshops tailored for travellers in Singapore, and what locations are best?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. Many studios in creative enclaves like Tiong Bahru, Kampong Glam, and Bugis offer short, budget-friendly workshops perfect for travellers looking to get hands-on in a half-day or evening session. These areas are vibrant with street art and photogenic markets, making them ideal spots for combining your pottery experience with street photography. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during weekends or local festivals, to secure your spot and get tips from local artists on capturing your pottery in a picturesque setting.

Question 5

Are there pottery classes in Singapore that focus on eco-friendly practices or local materials, and how can travellers incorporate this into their photography?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some studios in Singapore emphasise sustainable art practices, using eco-friendly clay or recycled materials. Participating in such workshops allows you to learn about environmental consciousness while creating meaningful pieces. When photographing your work, highlight the natural textures and earthy tones achieved through eco-friendly techniques. Look for studios that feature outdoor or open-air settings, providing great natural lighting and scenic backgrounds to elevate your photography of your pottery experience. Additionally, ask your instructor about the origins of the materials used to add an educational layer to your photographs.

Question 6

How much does it cost to make pottery?

Accepted Answer

Pottery in Singapore is from $35-$120 depending on what you're making. Wheel throwing tends to be a little more expensive than hand-building as it requires more equipment. It also depends on which class you go for - some classes are more expensive as the instructors are pottery pros who will spend more time with you, and will make sure that your piece is glazed well, so you end up with a professional looking piece!

Question 7

Is pottery class messy?

Accepted Answer

It can be as you'll be working with wet clay! You'll usually be provided with an apron so you don't get clay all over your clothing - and even if you do get clay on your clothing, you can wash it off easily. The messiness, and chaos of a pottery class is one of our favourite things about it as it's just very raw, creative and meditative fun.

Question 8

What should I wear to pottery class?

Accepted Answer

Wear clothing that you don't mind getting clay on! You'll get to wear an apron during class, and the clay on your clothing will wash off in the washing machine, but you don't want to be wearing your best outfit for a class! For women, you might want to wear shorts, trousers or a dress that covers your knees if you're using the pottery wheel, as that will be more comfortable.

Question 9

What Is Special About Pottery Classes? Are There Any Benefits?

Accepted Answer

We love pottery so much we've done it over and over again in the past year! It's one of our favourite things to do on a date, or just a chilled afternoon with friends (or on a hen do!). Even if you don't love drawing or art, you'd like pottery as the feeling of crafting something with your hands and getting messy is incredibly meditative and fun. Even better - you get to walk away with a cool one-of-a-kind piece for your home! We've made cups, bowls and sake bottles which we love showing our friends.
