[🇸🇬SG] FINALLY an interesting date idea ❤️😍🎨

No idea what to do in SG anymore? Here’s a BRAND NEW pottery painting studio that you can check out😍 PotteryPlease is located conveniently in Queensway Shopping Centre, and is currently the most affordable local pottery painting option 💯 I loooved my experience so much and I really recommend this activity for a date idea with friends, family, your partner or just with yourself like how I went alone!😽

Let me run through with you a summary of the process:

1️⃣ 𝓒𝓱𝓸𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓽𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓮

The base price for access to paint materials, firing in the kiln and glazing costs $28 which is pre-paid upon booking. Once you reach the studio, you may choose from a variety of tableware such as mugs, plates, trinket dishes, etc. (all of which are priced differently) Hence, there is an additional fee to pay for your tableware of choice starting from $8. I chose a small to medium-sized mug because I felt it was the most practical 🤓

2️⃣ 𝓑𝓮 𝓪𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓬𝓸𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓷

Once you have a design in mind, just be aware that the wet paint looks VERY DIFFERENT after being fired in the kiln! E.g. the pastel blue paint (No. 4) will turn out like a dark blue, refer to the colour chart on their plate to see how each number will look like in the end.

I mixed No. 12 (White) with just a little bit of No. 4 (Blue) to achieve the very pale sky blue that I wanted in my final product 🩵🤍

3️⃣ 𝓢𝓴𝓮𝓽𝓬𝓱 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓭𝓻𝓪𝓯𝓽 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓹𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓲𝓵, 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓹𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓽 𝓪𝔀𝓪𝔂!

Using a graphite pencil, sketch the design that you desire~ The pencil markings WILL NOT show up after the item has been fired so fret not if it shows up‼️ Afterwards, you may use the paintbrushes which come in a variety of sizes to apply the paint, they also have needle-tip squeeze bottles available for you to draw really fine details 🤩

Once you’re done with the design, you’ll have to leave it at the studio for about estimated 1-2 weeks+ before going back to collect your final fired & glazed piece. (They’re having a huge surge of orders to fulfill right now hence waiting time may take longer than usual!)

My mug is inspired by my recent trip to Hokkaido this summer 🥰 I painted tiny icons of the little things that made me very happy during my trip there e.g. Japanese wind chimes🎐, ikura sushi🍣, a wild fox that i saw🦊 & a very cute dog at the local zoo🐶other things that I drew but are not in the post’s photos are lavender flowers🪻, a corn dog🌭 (from 7/11 it was sooo good), and an onigiri🍙!

The inside of the cup is inspired by the famous Hokkaido bird breed- Shima Enaga😘 it’s this really cute fluffy white bird with brown and black feathers and I wanted it to be a part of my mug🫶🏻

Finally, I ended off my design by writing 北海道 and my name on the bottom 🌈 Do note that you’re NOT supposed to paint the bottom rim of your item a.k.a. Any part that comes into contact with the table!!!!

Would give this experience 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because it’s so special, customisable & affordable🔥 The staff are also really friendly & helpful, they suggested I use the big paint brush to splatter paint and achieve that speckled effect in the inside of my cup :’) <333 HIGHLY RECOMMEND this little cosy studio!!
