## About Pottery Workshops & Classes

### Step Into Clay & Calm

I’m Yashashri and this is Clay Explore. Here, pottery isn’t just an art - it’s a way to slow down and reconnect. In my Prabhadevi studio, right opposite Siddhivinayak Temple, we turn simple maati (clay) into mugs for chai, vases, or whatever you feel like making. The vibe is chill, and you’ll find folks from all walks of life - no need to be an artist. Just come with an open mind and a bit of patience.

### What We Offer

- One-day trial workshops for anyone who wants a quick taste of working with clay.
- Beginner’s courses where I’ll guide you through prepping, centering, and shaping clay.
- Wheel throwing for beginners - get your hands dirty and learn classic forms.
- Hand-building pottery techniques, like pinching and coiling, if wheels aren’t your thing.
- Ceramic painting workshops and themed festive sessions - perfect for creative bursts.
- Private or group bookings for parties, team events, or a chill family afternoon.

### What You’ll Do

I walk you through the whole process - wedging clay, shaping on the wheel, trimming, and adding your own designs (sgraffito, inlay). We’ll glaze and fire your pieces, and you take home whatever you create.

### What's Included

Everything you need is here - tools, clay, wheels, materials, and lots of guidance. You’ll find the process surprisingly mindful. Sab kuch mil jayega (you’ll get everything you need).

### Who’s It For?

Absolutely anyone. No experience, no fancy skills required. Just come ready to try, and maybe laugh at your wonky first bowl.

### My story

Hey there, I’m Yashashri, and this is Clay Explore - my tiny studio tucked in Prabhadevi, Mumbai. Everything here starts with my two hands and a big dose of inspiration from nature - fish swimming, lotus blooming, birds fluttering. I’m all about making simple moments feel special, whether it’s a handmade plate or teaching someone to play with clay. Exhibitions are cool, but honestly, the real fun is in the studio, making and sharing the clay joy.

### My work

- **Handmade Ceramics & Tableware**: I make minimal ceramic tableware and décor, each piece unique and made for everyday use.
- **Pottery Workshops & Classes**: Beginner-friendly pottery wheel classes and hand-building sessions. Just bring your curiosity!
- **Custom Orders for Cafes & Restaurants**: I create custom restaurant ceramics and gift hampers. Collaborations welcome for bulk or personalized sets.
