Q: I have no prior experience with ceramics. Where do I start?
It does not matter if you have no experience prior as all our classes are designed for Beginners for now! Depending on your availability, you can choose between:
Pottery Do-It-All (3hrs x 1 session)
Pottery On-The-Wheel(1.5hrs x 1 session)
Regular Workshops (2-2.5hrs x 8 sessions)
Q: Which courses are more manageable to start off with?
You can experience pottery through our Do-it-All or Pottery On-The-Wheel Experience Session where you will get to try it out first. If not you can consider starting off with Handbuilding.
Q: What is the difference between your Pottery Do-It-All (3hrs) and your Pottery On-The-Wheel Experience (1.5hrs) classes?
Our Do-it-All session allows you to try both Handbuilding and Pottery on the wheel, while you will only get to try the Potters’ Wheel for our Pottery On-The-Wheel Experience Session.
Q: What does the course pricing for the 8-session workshops include? Are there any other hidden costs?
The course pricing reflected includes the cost of clay, glazes and firing. The course fees are all-inclusive, unless you'd like to buy some of the more unique glazes or tools from us.
Q: If I sign up for your single-session workshops, will I get to keep all the pieces I have made?
Yes, you have the option to keep every piece you have attempted at $10.00/piece!
Q: Do you have free trial lessons?
No, we do not. However, you can sign up for our single session Do-It-All or Pottery On-The-Wheel Experience to get a hands-on experience for you to try everything out!
Q: What happens when I have to miss a scheduled Basic Potters’ Wheel class?
Due to the limitation of available pottery wheels and tight scheduling for optimum capacity, we can only accommodate the rescheduling of no more than 2 classes within the 8 weeks of your workshop.
Q: What happens when I missed my scheduled Pottery Do-It-All class?
Due to the limited capacity planned for each session, we will not be able to offer any refund or rescheduling for no-show as your spots will remain unfilled.
Q: Can I seek a refund if I decide to change my mind?
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate any refunds.
Q: Why can’t you reschedule me?
Like having bought tickets to attend a performance, the spots that you have registered for will remain unfilled for the session if you do not show up. Hence it would not be fair to us having to carve out new spots for you to attend another session as a result of your no-show.
Q: Do you conduct customised one-off workshops, such as team bonding sessions or birthdays?
Yes, we can customize bespoke workshops based on your group size and budget.
Q: Will I be able to master the skills sufficiently after each course?
All skills are honed with practice. You will have sufficient time to develop progressively over the course of the sessions to master the skill. Of course, it just keeps getting easier with practice!
Q: What should I wear to class?
The workshop is comfortably air-conditioned so you will just need to show up in comfortable attire and shoes, together with an apron if you have one as we are unable to provide any communal aprons to be shared during this period.
Q: Are there any food and drink options nearby?
There are drink vending machines and a cafe within the same building. If not, there are plenty of other options at People’s Park Food Centre five minutes away with a large selection of halal and non-halal food.
Q: Is it convenient for me to drive there?
Yes, we have ample un-sheltered parking lots at $0.90 every half hourly. However do note that there is no grace period for drop-offs.
Q: Is there an area I can wait for my children to finish their classes?
We do not have a waiting area but you are most welcome to wait anywhere within the building, at the nearby cafes or at People’s Park Complex five minutes away.
Q: Can I sign my child up for your single session workshops?
Unfortunately we are requiring for all single-session workshop participants to be at least 13 years old and above due to a different type of facilitation required. You can consider signing your child up for our Childrens’ Workshops offered periodically during the term breaks.
Q: How big are your class sizes?
Pottery Do-It-All: 10-12 pax Pottery On-The-Wheel Experience: 8 pax Basic Handbuilding: 8 pax Basic Potter’s Wheel: 7-8 pax
