Proposed annual fee: S$9,200 per candidate. Location: Geylang Pottery Studio, 175B Geylang Road, Singapore 389247, in connection with the Seminary Gate at King’s College Singapore.
Status: planning proposal, subject to approval—not an existing published tariff. This fee covers a defined year of studio formation, mentoring, materials allowances and assessment. It does not purchase accreditation, a degree or ordination. Staffing, occupancy, firing costs and cohort viability must be validated before publication or enrolment.
The existing prospectus on this page describes a one-month Singapore journey organised around Centring, Formation, Trimming and Finishing. The proposed one-year offering requires a separate approved scope and enrolment agreement; it is not an automatic extension of the one-month programme.
The proposed fee assumes:
These are proposed entitlements, not verified current programme commitments.
All amounts are proposed SGD allocations, not supplier quotations or established market rates.
| Item | Calculation / allowance | Amount | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Application and learning-plan interview | Fixed | S$100 | Reviews experience, goals, accessibility needs and suitability; establishes an individual learning plan. |
| 2. Studio induction and safety training | Fixed | S$150 | Covers equipment use, clay and glaze handling, dust control, cleaning and kiln-area boundaries. |
| 3. Group pottery instruction | 120 teaching hours × S$120 staff-hour ÷ 6 candidates | S$2,400 | Funds demonstrations, guided practice and technical feedback. Assumes six enrolled candidates; S$120 is the group’s teaching staff-hour allocation, not each candidate’s hourly fee. |
| 4. Independent studio access and shared oversight | 120 booked hours × S$5 | S$600 | Supports booking, access administration and pooled technician oversight—not continuous one-to-one instruction or unrestricted access. |
| 5. Individual preceptorship mentoring | 12 hours × S$100 | S$1,200 | Supports vocational discernment, reflective practice, character formation and progress planning. |
| 6. Theology and reflective-practice seminars | 24 candidate-hours × S$25 | S$600 | Connects making, Scripture, giftedness, vocation and community service. A limited studio strand, not the complete M1–M3 curriculum. |
| 7. Clay allowance | 60 kg × S$6 | S$360 | Provides a defined annual practice allowance. Clay reclaiming should be taught to reduce waste and additional purchases. |
| 8. Standard studio glazes and consumables | Annual allowance | S$240 | Covers standard shared glazes and ordinary consumables; specialist finishes require separate approval. |
| 9. Bisque-firing credit | Annual credit | S$250 | Contributes towards first firings at a published studio charging basis. |
| 10. Glaze-firing credit | Annual credit | S$350 | Contributes towards final firings. Combined firing credits total S$600; no unlimited firing or private kiln load is promised. |
| 11. Shared tools and equipment maintenance | Annual allocation | S$150 | Supports ordinary wear, shared tools and maintenance. Personal specialist tools remain optional purchases. |
| 12. Community arts project support | One project allowance | S$300 | Provides a modest contribution towards an approved community-facing project and its materials. |
| 13. Formative portfolio reviews | 4 reviews × S$100 | S$400 | Funds documented feedback at four checkpoints. Review preparation and written feedback must be distinct from the mentoring entitlement. |
| 14. Final assessment | Fixed | S$300 | Covers assessment of the portfolio, reflective account and project against agreed criteria; no guaranteed pass. |
| 15. Completion records and documentation | Fixed | S$150 | Produces the learning record and, where authorised, a completion certificate. Not an external accreditation fee. |
| 16. Programme coordination | Annual allocation | S$450 | Covers attendance records, schedules, candidate communication and studio–seminary coordination. |
| 17. Premises and general operating contribution | S$100 × 12 months | S$1,200 | Contributes towards occupancy, general utilities and cleaning. Kiln costs and technician labour allocated elsewhere must not be counted again. |
| Total proposed annual fee | Sum of items 1–17 | S$9,200 | Subject to approval and validation against actual delivery costs. |
At six fully paying candidates, gross annual cohort fees would be S$55,200 before concessions. This is revenue—not profit or a verified break-even budget.
| Arrangement | Payment |
|---|---|
| Annual | S$9,200 |
| Quarterly | 4 × S$2,300 |
| Monthly, with exact annual reconciliation | 11 × S$766.67 + final S$766.63 |
