They all have vessels from Dirty Hands Only! 😎 This is the perfect introductory pottery making class if you would like to learn unique pottery appreciated in cool spaces and luxury establishments alikeHighlights✨ Learn the 2 main pottery techniques: hand-building and wheel-throwing.✨ Beautiful rooftop garden studio✨ Get to bring home 2 beautiful piecesWhat to ExpectWhat's really special about a session at Dirty Hands is not just how great an instructor Tiff is, their glazing style is also incredibly unique and beautiful. After they glaze your pieces for you, your pieces will look like they were purchased from a fancy ceramics boutique. This is a 2-hour introduction to ceramics that teaches you the 2 main pottery techniques: hand-building and wheel-throwing. Learn the basics of coil, slab and pinch construction in hand building and then we’ll take you through the process of throwing and shaping on the wheel. You will get to keep 2 of your vessels at the end of the session ( (1 hand-building vessel and 1 wheel-thrown vessel). The collection of pieces will be in about 1.5 - 2 months due to firing and glazing time. The instructor will confirm the collection date with you after your session. NoteDirty Hands Only has time slots available from Tuesday to Sunday each week. Check the available dates and time slots via the booking form above.Wear light clothing as it is an outdoor (rooftop garden) studio. It’s sheltered and there are large fans around. Suitable for children aged 7 and above. Children aged 7 require parental supervision.Getting there:At the main entrance of Emily's residence #08-04, pass the security guard and walk down to the carpark and turn right. Take the lift to the 8th floor, you’ll see a dirty hands sign to the stairwell, go up the stairwell and you’ll find us. *DO NOT go to Parc Emily, it’s the condo right beside and sometimes people mistake it for Emily residence.

Dirty Hands started as an escape from the dailies, call it another form and expression of art, aside from the founder's profession as a graphic designer. A quiet place to not think, really.
Dirty Hand's vessels have found home to:
Idlewild - Intercontinental Hotel Bugis, Ritz Carlton - Chihuly Lounge,
Shangri La, Singapore, MO BAR at Mandarin Oriental, Three Drunk Pigs,
The Nomads Singapore.

Tiffany was really friendly and patient throughout the session. She made us feel very comfortable and gave us encouragement. We truly enjoyed the session and we will definitely comeback

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.

Cancel for free 7 days before your trip starts.
Cancellations after such date will not be eligible for refunds as Dirty Hands Only would have paid for your trip’s logistics already.

All courses can be cancelled and refunded as long as it is more than 7 days before the booking. Anything less than that will forfeit the entire course fee. The recommended option would be to reschedule the course instead.

Hi, i am organising an activity for my Finance team of 6. Noted max size is capped at 5.
May i know if we can be split into group of me for the session? Or can you recommend any other arrangement?

Hi Ezen,
Unfortunately, this option can only take maximum of 5persons for the same time slot.
It's only possible splitting the group into different timeslot :)
Hi, if there’s rain will it be possible to reschedule?
