Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle – Discover Singapore’s Last Dragon Kiln
Heritage, Clay, Fire, Community, Tradition
If you’re looking for a memorable, hands-on activity that gets kids off screens and into something real, Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle is a must-visit. Nestled in a quiet corner of Jalan Tawas, this family-run pottery haven is home to Singapore’s last surviving dragon kiln—and it’s one of the best places in the city for children to learn, play, and get creative with clay.
What makes Pottery Jungle truly special for families is its welcoming vibe and immersive workshops. Kids can squish, spin, and shape their own little masterpieces in the Beginner Pottery Workshops, where patient instructors guide them through basic hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques. These hour-long sessions are perfect for young hands, with materials and tools all provided. For older kids or returning little artists, there’s even a chance to try the potter’s wheel—yes, just like in the movies, but with less mess and more laughter!
And of course, no visit is complete without seeing the legendary dragon kiln. Towering and tunnel-like, it’s fired up a few times a year and turns each piece of pottery into something beautifully unique. During special firing events, the whole place comes alive with demonstrations, local snacks, and the glow of a roaring fire—an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
Whether it’s a weekend workshop, a school holiday outing, or a birthday celebration with a twist, Pottery Jungle is where muddy hands meet magical memories. Let your kids explore, create, and fire up their imagination in the most down-to-earth way possible.
