FAQs
Can anyone sign up as a VCC member?
As our studio operates on an independent, self-directed basis, we welcome members who already have a solid foundation in pottery. VCC membership is best suited for those confident in working without guided instruction.
Priority will be given to students who have previously completed our courses at Ves. Please note that membership applications are assessed based on your pottery experience and understanding.

Do you provide tools?
We have most tools and equipment required in a pottery studio, free to use for all VCC members. We seek your assistance that they be returned to its designated locations after usage.
Firing
What are the firing procedures?
For firing, we have 2 options based on volumetric sizes to be filled with completed works:
- M basket - $90 (H12 x 34 x 27)
- L basket - $130 (H17 x 44 x 31)
Includes bisquit firing, a selection of studio made cone 8 glazes and glaze firing.
What are the firing schedules?
We keep ensuring the kiln is at least 3/4 filled for firing and we light the kiln up once every 2-3 weeks for both bisquit and glaze firing.
What happens with a firing mishap?
Respectfully, all completed pieces should be checked thoroughly by VCC Members before firing. We will always check for signs during kiln pre-loading but Ves will not take any responsibility for cracks, explosions or glaze mishaps.
Important:
Members with works causing kiln disruption will be cautioned and subsequently banned if continued kiln disruption persists.
Cleanliness
How often is the studio cleaned?
The studio is mopped clean with all common surfaces wiped down and all rags washed and hung dry at the end of every day. Rags are replaced every 4-6 months. The studio undergoes a general deep clean every 3 months and a complete year end refresh before the start of the new year.
2 high grade true HEPA filter air purifiers clear the air of contaminants every day.
What are the guidelines for studio cleanliness?
As cleanliness is much appreciated, after your session:
- Do remove all clay scraps from the sink to be deposited in the designated clay tray
- Mop affected areas with fresh clean water (avoid using dirty water)
- Thoroughly clean personally used tools, containers, trays, wheels and wooden boards
- Reclaim your clay on your personal plaster board
- Dispose of personal rubbish thoughtfully
Can I use communal aprons?
For hygiene reasons, we ask that all members bring their own apron. Communal aprons are not provided, though Ves aprons are available for purchase upon request
General
What are the procedures for making a purchase?
Kindly advise your interest in purchasing clay, apron, tools, etc in advance through email or during studio hours and we will have the items prepared for you.
