## About Ceramic Commissions & Collections

Clay has a way of slowing me down. Every piece I make is a mix of patience, some happy accidents, and a lot of stories. I used to play it safe, but now I let my curiosity run wild. Not everything comes out perfect, and I’m okay with that. The little quirks and marks - those are part of the journey.

### Two Ways to Bring My Ceramics Home

- Got a wild idea for a vase or need custom pottery for your cafe? Let's work together. I like keeping things collaborative, whether you know exactly what you want or just have a vibe. Sometimes the clay does its own thing, so I try, tweak, and fix till it feels right. I’ve made sets as small as 10 plates, and gone big - 300 pieces for businesses.
- If you’re into stories, check out my collections during shop drops or exhibitions. These are my own experiments, like the '100 Explorations' with foraged earth from Bali and Coorg, or pieces inspired by Kolam patterns and hand-carved florals.

### My Craft & Approach

- I make functional art for real life, like small batch tableware for morning chai or family dinners.
- I’m big on Kurinuki sculptural pieces and wheel-thrown ceramics.
- Sometimes the firing gets wild - wood-fire leaves unpredictable flame marks, and I love that.
- The little distortions or marks aren’t flaws; they’re proof of the process.

If you want ceramics with a story, not just a perfect finish, you’re in the right place.

### My story

We're not your usual studio. I started as a teacher, loving the chaos of a packed class, but somewhere, my own hands missed the mess of clay. Last year, something just clicked - I began digging up earth, from Bali lava to Coorg lakes, even behind a Tamil Nadu idli shop. Every pot now holds a bit of place, a bit of memory. I want you to slow down, really touch what you’re holding. This is my way back to myself, and maybe, yours too.

### My work

- **Handmade Ceramics & Custom Orders**: We make small-batch, handmade ceramics—shop drops or custom, B2B and B2C. Every piece, a bit experimental.
- **Pottery School & Immersive Courses**: Not a weekend crash course. We go deep—wheel-throwing, hand-building, even 8-month immersive pottery courses.
- **Foraged Clay & Atmospheric Firing**: Our '100 Explorations' project uses foraged clay ceramics and atmospheric firing pottery for pieces that carry stories.
- **Community Pottery Studio**: Started Ügam for new potters. This space is about sharing, learning, and growing together—no one left out.
