Painting Illustrations with Underglazes

3 hours · S$100

Discover how to translate an illustration onto clay and bring it to life in colour. Starting from sketching and composition, you'll learn to prepare and tone underglazes, build patterns and textures by hand, and master expressive outlines with block-out techniques — using contrast to add depth and visual interest to your finished work. Taught by Luann every first Sunday of the month, 10am – 1pm. Course fees S$100 — firing is excluded.

Min. 2 pax to start a class.

Making a Boxy Vessel – using Templates

3 hours · S$108

2 paying pax, 1 free

Slabwork is one of the fundamental handbuilding techniques — and working from a template is how makers move from free-formed slabs to crisp, repeatable forms. In this three-hour session, you'll learn to make and use a paper template: measuring out your design, cutting the panels, and tracing them onto a smooth slab before assembling them into a boxy vessel of around 14–18cm. Along the way you'll use the professional slab roller — setting the right thickness and rolling a crease-free slab — join the walls cleanly at the seams, and get practical tips on drying and calculating for shrinkage so the finished piece keeps its fit and strength after firing. To finish, add character to the surface with carving, or by impressing leaves or prints into the clay.

Min. 2 pax to start a class.

Building a Mug with Soft Slabs

S$108 per person

Soft slabs give your work a gentler, more organic look — and open up wider possibilities, such as forming cylinders and bulbous shapes. In this session, you'll learn how to prepare and handle soft slabs and create crisp, well-formed pieces using the techniques of barrier and support. You'll then bring it all together in an impressed mug with a pulled handle, up to 15cm tall, fired and finished for you.

Min. 2 pax to start a class.

Holiday Animal Sculpture Camp (13 years and above)

Choose one animal and make it yours — arrive with your research: photographs from every angle, and postures that capture its spirit. Lesson 1 (5 hours) begins with anatomy, skeletal structure and a study of the features that define your subject, before you shape a palm-size figure in clay, refined through corrections, adjustments and a shared critique. Lesson 2 (2.5 hours) brings the surface to life, rendering fur textures in underglazes alongside the essentials of glazing and firing. With expert guidance and the studio's clear-glaze finishing service, you leave with a sculpture fired to a brilliant, glossy shine.

Min. 2 pax to start a class.

• Lesson 1 (5 hours): Mon · 9.30am – 12.30pm & 2pm – 4.30pm
