#Visit the Thow Kwang dragon kiln
“Call ahead to check firing days and workshop slots; the grounds are easiest to reach by taxi or ride-hail.”
About this idea
Thow Kwang is a family-run pottery in western Singapore built around a rare wood-fired 'dragon kiln' — a long, sloping brick tunnel dating back decades. Wander the jungle-like grounds packed with pots and glazed ceramics, meet the potters, and learn how the kiln is still fired the traditional way. It is a quiet, hands-on slice of vanishing craft heritage.
