Clay Workshops for Schools and Students in Bangalore

My approach to teaching pottery is rooted in the idea that clay is a tool for connection rather than just a medium for art. When we set up in a school environment, we strip away the pressure of perfection.

For Preschoolers & Primary Schools We emphasize sensory clay workshops. For little ones, it is about the feeling—the rolling, squashing, and squishing. These sessions are designed to calm the mind and encourage focus, often involving parent-child activities that foster a deeper bond. We keep instructions simple, prioritizing the process of discovery over the finished product.

For Design Students & Colleges I collaborate with institutions like the Bangalore School of Design to offer workshops that bridge the gap between theory and practice. We cover hand-building techniques, texture exploration, and form development. These sessions can be tailored to align with specific design modules, giving students a tactile way to understand volume and structure.

Practical Details Whether we are at my studio in HRBR Layout or I am bringing the setup to your school campus, I handle everything. I bring the clay, the tools, and the cleanup kit. For those interested in permanent art, we can even plan projects where students create tiles for the school's walls or floors—just like the work we did with Shibumi.

I believe that every student, regardless of age, has a 'Clay Conversation' waiting to happen. If you are an educator looking to introduce a tactile, grounding element to your curriculum, let's chat about what we can build together.
