Ceramics Class for Kids in Phuket Town?
Clay is not for everyone, the texture and the mess of it dries out fingers and patience in equal measure. But Sitao, a small ceramics studio in Phuket Old Town, is a genuinely lovely way to spend a couple of hours with children, no experience or artistic talent required on anyone’s part.
It is not a formal class in the traditional sense, more of a reliable answer to the “what do we do with the kids this weekend” question. You show up, they sculpt something, you smile and agree it is definitely a vase.
What to Expect
Cost runs around 550 THB per child, though it can vary slightly depending on how ambitious they get with their piece, worth confirming current pricing when you book. Finished pieces are not ready immediately, expect to return in about a month to collect them, which conveniently gives you a good excuse to come back for another round.
The studio is open daily from 10:00 to 19:00. Booking ahead is worth doing on weekends, space fills quickly and it gets crowded once more than ten people are in at once. The activity genuinely suits a wide age range, from small children through to adults, so it works equally well as a family outing or a grown up afternoon out.
Making a Day of It
If you would rather not sit through the session with the kids, there are options nearby to fill that time properly rather than just waiting it out. Phuket Old Town has a wine bar next door and a Thai restaurant across the street you can order from while you wait, and the surrounding streets are full of the kind of ice cream spots and small corners worth wandering into regardless.
We have been going roughly once a month for two and a half years now, and it remains one of the easier, lower effort family days out on the island, useful to have in the rotation alongside other options like family activities in Phuket that keep kids busy all day.
If you’re after more days like this one, the guide to things to do in Phuket with the kids, rounds up over 60 vetted family activities across the island, including Sitao, complete with discounts, an interactive map, and practical details like age recommendations and pricing, all in one place.
Getting There and Booking
Sitao is based in Phuket Old Town at 119 Phangnga Road, with a second location in Cherngtalay for those based further north. You can find current availability and more detail through their Facebook – @sitao.studio.
