INSTRUCTOR: Sarah Teh
SKILL LEVEL: BEGINNER

For students who have taken our 1-Day Kid's Claymaking Class, or have had prior experience working with clay. Sign up for our 1-Day Kids Workshop to play and create with us using clay! In this class, you’ll be learning the basic principles and techniques of working with clay.

This workshop will focus on two fundamental handbuilding techniques—pinching and slab-building—which you will use to make up to two unique pieces (such as mugs, cups, dishes, bowls and trinket dishes). At the end of class, you will get to choose and paint your works using the available range of underglazes at our studio.

The possibilities are endless, and the only limit is your imagination!

The course will take in a maximum of 8 students to provide maximum guidance. Sign-ups will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

* Recommended age: 8 and above. Parents are welcome to sign up and participate with their children.

FAQs

What course should I take if I am a complete beginner?

Pottery usually begins with handbuilding so for absolute beginners we will recommend the Introduction to Handbuilding course before getting to wheelthrowing.

That said, if you'd like to challenge yourself, our Beginner/Extension Wheelthrowing course is suitable for beginners with no experience too!

What if I have signed up and can’t make it for the classes?

As our courses are planned months in advance, we do not offer refunds or exchanges for credits for any of our courses.

That said, we can arrange one make-up session of the same course at another timeslot. However, do note this is subject to availability. If courses are full, this will not be possible.

Do you have one-off workshops?

Unfortunately, no. At Ves, we only offer short courses that are at least 4 sessions long.

Pottery is a craft that takes decades to master. We believe that short courses are the best way to introduce people to the beauty of pottery and properly impart pottery techniques.

Students also need time to warm up to clay and its properties, and familiarise with new equipment and tools before they start enjoying pottery. We hope you join us!

When can I collect my class pieces?

You can collect your pieces one month after your glazing class.

Do make sure to collect them within 3 months of the glazing class, else we reserve the right to dispose of them. We have ongoing lessons and hundreds of new students pieces being fired daily, so unfortunately we are unable to store your pieces for long.

We seek your understanding to collect your pieces in time.
