Craft Your Kopi Cup: A Hands-On Pottery Experience with Your SG Culture Pass`

Looking for a unique way to spend an afternoon and use your S$100 SG Culture Pass credits? Instead of just observing art, why not create it? A ceramic workshop is the perfect hands-on activity, and we've found one that beautifully blends pottery with a celebration of Singapore's rich local culture: the "Heritage in a Cup" workshop.

Hosted by Arudio Ceramic, this workshop invites you to get your hands dirty and craft a piece of functional art that tells a uniquely Singaporean story.

What is the "Heritage in a Cup" Workshop?

This isn't just any pottery class. "Heritage in a Cup" is a beginner-friendly workshop designed to celebrate Singapore's identity through the creation of a classic, kopi-style cup. You won't just learn how to shape clay; you'll learn how to infuse it with meaning and local flavour.

The session guides you through the entire process, from using a potter's wheel (a technique called "throwing") to painting your creation with iconic local themes. It’s a fantastic way to connect with our heritage and walk away with a beautiful, handmade souvenir.

What to Expect During the Workshop

Perfect for beginners, this hands-on session covers two main skills:

Wheel Throwing: You'll learn the fundamentals of using the potter's wheel to shape a lump of clay into your very own cup. An instructor will be there to guide you every step of the way.
Decorative Painting: Once your cup is formed, you'll get to unleash your creativity by painting it with Singapore-inspired designs.

The themes for decoration are a nostalgic trip down memory lane. You can choose to paint motifs inspired by:

Hawker Delights: Think classic kaya toast and kopi patterns.
Peranakan Tiles: Recreate the intricate and colourful designs of traditional shophouses.
Nostalgic Icons: Draw inspiration from old-school biscuit tins or vibrant batik patterns.

By the end of the workshop, you will have created one unique cup that is not only functional but also a personal piece of art filled with local stories.

This experience is ideal for:

Creative Individuals: Anyone looking for a fun, hands-on activity.
Couples: A perfect and memorable date idea.
Friends & Family: A great bonding activity for a weekend outing.

Absolutely no prior pottery experience is needed, making it accessible to everyone.
