Pottery classes in Singapore range from one-off trial workshops to multi-week courses. This guide lists ten studios in our ranked order and sets out what each one states about its beginner classes: the formats on offer, how long sessions run, when they are scheduled, who can attend and how to book. Most beginner classes cover hand-building, where clay is shaped by pinching, coiling or slab work, or wheel throwing, where clay is centred and formed on a spinning potter's wheel. Clay Clay Pottery, by contrast, is a pottery painting studio. Fees change, so confirm the current cost with the studio before booking.
