Today's journey started in the wood-fire dragon kiln in Jurong, which used to be a sort of pottery village (though unfortunately because land is so valuable in Singapore, very few of these heritage craft sites are being preserved and I think a few kilns have been lost to new developments (housing and offices)). Although some of their stuff is obviously from China, there is a lot to see and buy here, and it's pretty amazing to just walk through. They mostly focus on public education now and only fire up the kiln 2-3 times a year. They just did a firing on the 19-20 June to create pieces for Singapore's 50th birthday celebration (SG 50).
You can get here by bus + MRT (I think Jurong is on the east-west/green line and then the # 199 bus will take you to it). There isn't any particular guide but the lady we met today said that her husband is a 3rd generation potter, and that this place has been here for over 50 years.
