10 Best Pottery Studios in Singapore

Taking up pottery in Singapore has never been easier, with dedicated ceramics studios spanning wheel throwing, hand-building, one-off taster sessions and multi-week courses. This guide gathers ten established pottery studios, from a heritage wood-fired dragon kiln in the west to intimate beginner spaces and large city studios with in-house kilns. Each was checked against its own website, so treat it as a shortlist to compare on technique, format and location rather than a strict ranking.

Mud Rock Ceramics is a professional production studio and ceramics school on Outram Road, founded by two potters who have practised the craft for many years. Its teaching runs from a one-off trial through structured beginner courses covering wheel throwing, trimming, coiling, slab-building and glazing, so students meet both wheel and hand-building techniques before their pieces are kiln-fired. The studio also handmakes its own tableware and says it has undertaken commissions for institutions and international brands.

Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle is a long-running pottery off Lorong Tawas in the west of Singapore, built around a wood-fired dragon kiln that the Tan family says it has kept since 1965 and describes as the country's oldest surviving example. Alongside its collection of wares, it runs pottery workshops and educational tours for the public and schools, and holds periodic dragon-kiln wood-firings. It has offered ceramics workshops on site since the early 2000s, making it as much a heritage visit as a class.

Am I Addicted is a Korean-run pottery studio inside Orchard Central that the studio says is Singapore's largest, occupying a single sizeable floor with dozens of wheels and its own kilns on site. Beginner-friendly sessions cover both wheel throwing and hand-building, and because firing is done in-house, pieces are glazed and fired without being sent elsewhere. Its central mall setting and capacity make it a common choice for larger groups and team bookings.

Goodman Ceramic Studio, which also operates as Studio GDMC, is an established ceramics studio that its own site now lists at the Excalibur Centre in Ubi. It teaches wheel throwing and hand-building across classes for adults, families and children, and is equipped with kilns for firing plus clay, glazes and materials for sale. The studio takes its name from the Goodman Arts Centre arts enclave, where it began.

The Potters' Guilt runs two studios, at Pearl's Hill Terrace near Chinatown and at the New Bahru cluster off Kim Yam Road, and pitches itself at people who want a serious grounding in the craft. Beginners can book a one-off wheel session or couple and family sessions, while multi-week Basic and Intermediate wheel courses go deeper into clay bodies, firing and glazing, and returning students can use open-studio time. Its facilitators are described as experienced art practitioners and educators.

Urth & Phire is a wheel-focused ceramic studio on Playfair Road near Tai Seng, which describes itself as Singapore's premier ceramic studio. Its courses climb from a beginner trial through intermediate and advanced wheel throwing to masterclasses on larger forms such as the moon jar, and monthly or hourly open-studio passes let members keep practising. Pieces are glazed and kiln-fired, with finished work ready for collection a few weeks later.

Sen by Prodigal is a ceramics studio on MacTaggart Road in the MacPherson area that leans into unhurried, considered making. It teaches wheel throwing, from wedging and trimming to finishing and adding handles and lids, as well as hand-building through pinching, shaping and surface decoration, and offers open-studio access and paint-your-own bisqueware for those who prefer decorating to forming. Small group bookings are available, and classes are led by practising ceramicists.

The 8th Floor Ceramics is an appointment-only studio in Geylang, near Aljunied, that says it was the first in Singapore to offer structured pottery courses. Its programmes progress step by step with close monitoring of each student's work, centred on wheel throwing, and members can book independent open-studio hours to practise between lessons. The studio frames itself as a calm, unhurried space to focus and create.

Dirty Hands Only is a small, intimate pottery studio built around beginner and returning learners, keeping classes to no more than six people so each student gets close guidance. It teaches both wheel throwing and hand-building, taking makers through shaping, moulding and glazing their own pieces, and frames the experience as a chance to slow down and work with your hands. Sessions are hands-on and unrushed rather than production-line.
