When you visit for a workshop, you will see the full cycle—from wedging raw clay and prepping the workspace, to trimming finished pieces and setting up the kiln. It is an honest, hands-on process that takes patience, and I am always happy to show you how a simple lump of earth becomes your morning mug. ### Life Behind the Wheel Every morning at my studio in Prabhadevi starts with quiet intention. Before students arrive for their workshops or production orders begin, I spend these early hours working on my own sculptures, sketching new forms, or simply centering myself with a cup of tea. It is a rhythm that grounds me and keeps the creative process honest. ### The Crafting Journey Pottery is a dialogue between hands and material. When you join me in the studio, you are not just observing; you are part of that cycle. Whether you are signing up for the 10-session beginner course or just a one-day trial, you will learn the actual workflow: * **Wedging & Prep:** Learning how to remove air bubbles and prepare the clay. * **Wheel Mastery:** Finding your rhythm on the wheel, from centering to pulling up cylinders. * **The Finishing Touch:** Trimming bases, carving designs like sgraffito, and glazing. ### Why Visit? This is not a factory assembly line. It is a shared space where mistakes are part of the learning curve and every piece has a story. By the time you pick up your fired ceramic piece—usually within 2-3 weeks—you will have a deeper appreciation for the slow craft movement. Whether you are looking for a weekend pottery class in Mumbai or are curious about how custom restaurant ceramics are made, I invite you to see the real effort, heat, and focus that goes into every piece. ## About Clay Explore I am Yashashri, and my studio in Prabhadevi is where I turn raw clay into the ceramics you see here. I wear many hats—maker, teacher, and host—and I believe the best way to understand pottery is to experience the rhythm of the studio firsthand.
