Make-your-first-masterpiece Trial Session

The course pricing for the trial session includes the cost of clay, glazes and firing for up to one piece of work created during the session. The course fees are all-inclusive, and it even comes with a free scoop of artisanal gelato from Aphrodite, which is just across our shop. If you would like to take back more of your creations, each additional piece will be charged at $10 per piece.

Yes, you have the option to keep every piece you have attempted at $10/piece!

Q: Can I sign my child up for your trial session workshops?

We accept students of all ages for all single-session workshop participants. However, if your child is 8 years old and below, we would recommend parents to join in as well – not only you can participate and build better bond with your child, you can also learn a new skill as well.

The course price for the beginner session includes the cost of glazes and firing and depending on the amount of session you sign up – every session includes a free piece of work created during the session. The course excludes clay which you can purchase new clay (not recycled ones) from us at only $28 per 10kg, which is sufficient for the entire course.

Q: What happens when I have to miss a scheduled Beginner Course?

We are flexible, and you can inform us in advance to reschedule your dates. However, for a better learning experience, we advise you to complete your lessons within 2 months (4 lessons) or 3 months (8 lessons).

Q: Will I be able to master the skills sufficiently after each course?

All skills are honed with practice. You will have sufficient time to develop progressively over the course of the sessions to master the skill. Of course, it just keeps getting easier with practice!

Open Studio Rental

The course price for the open studio rental is $500 for 50-hour credits which you could use it any time, any day (except Mon) when it’s our rest day.

Firing and glaze are charged at $0.08 cents per volume metric (Length X Depth X Height) and includes both bisque and glaze firing. As this programme is designed for independent learners to build a potters community, you do not need to take our classes to join the open studio rental programme. Easy peasy!

Yes, you most certainly can. To help cover the cost of the rental, the gallery takes 50% of the sales as an administrative fee. We also plan annual exhibition for our members who are keen to showcase their portfolio of works.
