Learn An Exciting Craft At The Best Pottery Classes in Singapore

It's much harder than it looks!
By: Astrid Zulhaime / May 20, 2024

Remember that snippet of time in 2020 when everyone was sharing videos online of themselves baking bread, crocheting, creating art, or making music? Even though the pandemic brought suffering to millions of people, one unexpected benefit of the global lockdowns was the amount of free time we all had, enabling us to engage in creative pursuits. If there’s one thing we learned from the pandemic, it’s that creating something from scratch is incredibly fulfilling and also beneficial to our mental health. If you’ve been feeling down lately, consider enrolling in the best pottery classes in Singapore. There’s nothing quite like the first time you manage to turn a lump of clay into a beautiful ceramic piece.

5. The 8th Floor Ceramics Studio

You can look forward to learning the art of pottery from talented local art practitioners and artisans at The 8th Floor Ceramics Studio.

6. The Potters’ Guilt

With a name like The Potter’s Guilt, one can’t help but wonder what exactly it is that potters have to feel remorse over? Don’t stress, as the name is just a creative play on the word “guild”. Since the artists teaching at The Potter’s Guilt are incredibly accomplished, this pottery studio is definitely helmed by a guild. Their wide range of classes includes Basic Handbuilding, Basic Potter’s Wheel, a three-hour Pottery-Do-It-All course, and Pottery on the Wheel Experience.

7. Arudio

Arudio was founded in 2014 by Poh Sin Yong, a professionally trained ceramic artist. If you’re looking for affordable and beginner-friendly pottery workshops, Arudio is definitely a stellar choice. There are trial classes for both wheel throwing and hand building, but since Arudio conducts their sessions in two different locations, be sure to double check which locale is most convenient for you. They also allow students to book self-practice sessions where they can work on their craft all by themselves in a fully equipped studio.
