9 Best Pottery Workshops in Singapore [2026]

Pottery is one of our favourite ways to spend an afternoon. We've done it on dates, on a hen do, and even with kids! It's super meditative and fun, plus you come away with beautifully imperfect pieces that you can use at your next dinner party. Here are our favourite pottery workshops in Singapore - from making fine ceramics on a rooftop garden, to mastering the Japanese art of Kintsugi.

For travellers to Singapore, note that you'll usually need to wait for 3-5 weeks for your pottery piece to be ready to take home (as it takes time for the completed pieces to be fired & glazed).

Best Pottery Classes in Singapore

1

Private Pottery Class in a Garden Studio

This private pottery class in a lush garden studio is a really special one. During this 2-hour class, you'll learn hand-building from a creative designer in a lovely private garden. Emily, your instructor, is really kind and patient, and encourages her guests to be super creative.

Best part? Not only do you have a private space all to yourself, you'll get to make seriously differentiated pieces, unlike any other pottery workshop in town!

2

Learn the Art of Kintsugi

This workshop teaches the unique Japanese art of Kintsugi - probably the only class where you are allowed to break things!

Traditionally, Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — a metaphor for embracing our flaws and imperfections. During this unique workshop, you'll learn to mend broken upcycled ceramics with gold powders to create a one-of-a-kind ceramic piece.

3

Make Fine Ceramics on a Rooftop Garden

Even if you've done pottery before, this is the next level up in terms of style. Tiff’s glazing style is seriously gorgeous, and her pieces can be found everywhere from the Ritz-Carlton, Intercontinental, Shangri-La, to Mandarin Oriental.

Set in her beautiful rooftop studio, this intro to pottery class is perfect if you want to try both techniques of wheel throwing and hand building. And you get to take home two beautiful pieces glazed by one of Singapore’s best potters!

Private Pottery for Groups

If you're looking for the perfect thing to do do for a hen do, or a team event, try a private pottery session!

This is perfect for groups as it's a beginner-friendly session where you'll get to try both pottery techniques of hand-building, and wheel-throwing. We also love that the session is held in a lovely light-filled shophouse, with great instructors. You'll get messy and creative, and get to spend quality time creating together!

Pottery Classes in Singapore FAQs

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
