Make your very own ceramic tableware at Arudio’s 3-hour pottery workshops! From wheel-thrown cups and bowls to hand-built plates and vases, our instructors will be there to guide you through the process.
What's the difference between the 2 techniques? 🤷🏻♀️
Hand building is one of the very first pottery techniques ever used. With hand-building clay, objects are created using only your hands, fingers, and other simple pottery tools (not a pottery wheel). The advantage of hand building is that possibilities of your creation are endless!
Wheel throwing is not exactly as easy as throwing clay at a wheel and hoping it sticks. In fact, this could leave you with quite the mess. Wheel throwing starts from the moment the clay touches the wheel to the moment the wheel stops spinning. It refers to the process of moving your fingers in an upward motion (also referred to as bending the clay) while the wheel is spinning. This is best suited for creating round shapes.
Number of vessels to be made by each participant:
- Hand building trial class: 1 vessel each
- Wheel throwing trial class: 2 vessels each
Do have an idea of a shape that you would like to make before the class. But do not worry if you do not, Arudio's helpful instructors will guide you step-by-step and suggest various types of vessels that you can make
Keep nails short - Long nails may get in the way and mess up your clay when throwing on the wheel / during hand-building.
Dress Comfy - Aprons will be provided. However, clay may still splatter and stain your clothes. Do wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty in.
Be Early / Or at least punctual (:
Our trial workshops are not private one-to-one workshop, our instructors will only commence the briefing and demo when everyone is present.
**A grace period for lateness is 15 mins. Please reschedule your class if you will be more than 15 mins late, so as to be fair for those who are early/ punctual. Thank you for your kind understanding!**
