Pottery Wheel Trial Class in Singapore – What to Expect

First Pottery Wheel Experience Trial Class in Singapore – What to Expect

If you’ve been thinking about giving pottery a try but aren’t sure what it’s like, a pottery wheel trial class in Singapore is the perfect place to start. At Urth & Phire Ceramic Studio, we see countless first‑timers walk through our doors every week — many with zero experience — and leave with a big smile (and a handmade piece of pottery!).

Here’s what you can expect from your very first wheel throwing trial with us, and how to make the most of the experience.

🌱 No Experience Needed — Just Curiosity

One of the biggest questions we get: Do I need any prior art skills or classes?
 The answer is no. Our trial sessions are designed for absolute beginners. All you need to bring is a willingness to try something new — we’ll guide you through each step.

✋ Hands‑On from the Start

Unlike some workshops that start with long lectures, our trial sessions get you working on the wheel almost immediately.
 ✅ You’ll learn how to center your clay
 ✅ Feel the motion of the spinning wheel
 ✅ Shape your very first vessel with your own hands

Our instructors are practicing ceramic artists, so you’ll get real insights and friendly tips as you work.

👥 Small Groups for Personal Attention

We keep our trial classes small — usually no more than 6 students per instructor. This means you’ll never feel lost in the crowd. Someone is always nearby to help you steady the clay, adjust your hand position, or simply encourage you when the wheel feels a little too fast.

🏺 What You’ll Make and Take Home

Most first‑time students create a small bowl or cup during their trial. After the session, we glaze and fire your piece for you.
Collection: about 3–4 weeks later, your finished ceramic will be ready to take home as a keepsake (or even a gift!).

📍 Where It All Happens

Our studio is located in Kapo Factory, minutes from Tai Seng MRT and a short walk from MacPherson MRT. The space is calm, air‑conditioned, and fully equipped — the perfect place to slow down and focus.
