Pottery Courses
Craft Education
Many new potters eventually find their way to Friends Craft Coop, because of our superior teaching rigour, affordable pricing, and friendly community.
How do we achieve all this? We are a nonprofit who truly cares about pottery and craft education.
-
Having taught more than 500 students, we refined a syllabus with the aim of building your skills and confidence to enjoy pottery independently. By the end of our course, 100% of our graduates are able to full utilise the studio facilities to make pottery on their own.
-
We are serious about our teaching; that is why we only take 4 students per class. Everyone makes pottery in their own way, and more personal attention enables us to adapt techniques that fit your hands best.
-
Practice is important! Maximise your pottery class learning by using our studio to practice during the week. No other studio in Malaysia offers unlimited access during your course period.
Recommended Learning Path
101 Beginner Foundations Pottery Course
We highly recommend all potters take our beginner pottery course starting with 101 Pottery Foundations. 101 Pottery Foundations will cover both wheel throwing and handbuilding holistically.
Start with either
121 Beginner Hand Building Pottery Course
For those not planning to explore the wheel, you can start with 121 Handbuilding. This is recommended for people who prefer lower intensity pottery and are interested in developing unique sculptural forms.
122 Beginner Wheel Throwing Pottery Course
Students refine their ability to pull consistent cylinders and explore vase and bowl shapes derived from the cylinder. The objective is to develop intention and control in the pulling process and to increase the height and evenness of cylinder walls. 101 is a prerequisite.
