We guide you through the process of prepping the mitti, centering it on the wheel, and pulling walls to create your first bowl or cup. You are not just watching a demo; you are getting your hands dirty and actively shaping your own work under our guidance. ### What to Expect This is a hands-on session designed for complete beginners. You do not need to bring anything; we provide the studio aprons, tools, and unlimited practice clay during your time here. **The Process:** - **Clay Prep:** You start by learning to wedge the clay, which removes air bubbles and prepares the texture. - **Wheel Throwing:** This is the core of the session. We teach you how to center the clay, open the dome, and pull the walls into a cylinder. - **Hand-Building:** If the wheel feels intimidating, we offer guidance on hand-building techniques to help you shape your piece. ### Practical Details - **Firing Fees:** The workshop price covers the session and practice clay. Since the firing process requires our in-house kiln operation, there is a separate nominal baking fee (approx. INR 300 to INR 500 per piece) if you choose to make your items permanent. - **Timeline:** Because we fire your pieces in our own kiln, please note that it takes 3 to 4 weeks for your finished items to be ready for collection. This allows us to ensure proper drying and temperature control. ### Who This Is For Whether you are looking for a weekend creative outlet, a fun solo activity, or a chance to learn a new skill with friends, our studio offers a welcoming space to learn without the pressure of perfection. We believe in embracing the cracks and learning from mistakes. ## About ArtVilla Academy We are ArtVilla Academy, a creative family that started in 2024 to bring the art back to daily life. We believe the process matters more than the final piece, and our studio is a place to laugh, get messy, and learn the rhythm of the wheel. We are here to guide you, whether you have never touched clay before or are just looking for a new way to unwind.
