What Is Pottery Painting?

Pottery painting is a creative activity where you paint pre made ceramic pieces using special ceramic paints called underglazes. After painting, the pottery is glazed and kiln fired, transforming it into a food safe and functional ceramic piece.

Unlike pottery wheel throwing, pottery painting is beginner friendly and does not require any prior artistic experience. Guests simply choose a pottery piece, paint it however they like, and return later to collect the finished glazed version.

At Clay Clay Pottery, guests can paint mugs, bowls, plates, vases, matcha bowls, spoon rests, and seasonal pottery collections in a cosy studio environment in Singapore.


How Does Pottery Painting Work?

The pottery painting process is simple:

1. Choose Your Pottery

Pick from a range of ceramic pieces such as cups, bowls, plates, or vases.

2. Paint Freely

Use ceramic underglaze paints and brushes to customise your pottery however you like.

3. Glazing & Kiln Firing

The studio professionally glazes and kiln fires your piece at high temperatures.

4. Collect Your Pottery

Once firing is complete, the pottery becomes glossy, durable, and food safe.
