From hosting professional shoots for artists like Shekhar Ravjiani to helping absolute beginners center their first lump of clay, I keep the doors open for anyone who wants to experience the grounding rhythm of handmade pottery. Building Clay Explore has been a journey of finding balance between the technical precision of ceramics and the creative flow of teaching. My studio is located in the heart of Prabhadevi, right opposite the Siddhivinayak Temple, serving as a sanctuary where we practice the slow art of pottery. I believe in the power of 'Maati Putr'—being crafted by the Earth. This philosophy guides every workshop I host, whether it is a two-hour trial session or a month-long intensive course. It is not just about making a bowl; it is about the quiet process of wedging, shaping, and firing that reconnects us to the present moment. My work extends beyond the studio walls. Recently, my ceramic sculptures were recognized at the Manikarnika Women's Kala Award 2024, an honor that validates the hours spent perfecting glazes and forms. I also love when the studio becomes a backdrop for others' creativity, like when we hosted the production team for Shekhar Ravjiani’s song 'Ishq Mehfooz'. If you are looking to start your own pottery journey, you do not need prior experience. You just need curiosity. My classes are structured to give you hands-on guidance, starting from the basics of centering on the wheel to the final glaze firing. I invite you to step into the studio, get your hands dirty, and see how a simple lump of clay becomes a piece of art for your home. ## About Clay Explore Hi, I am Yashashri. I run Clay Explore here in Prabhadevi, where I trade my tools and clay for stories and learning. I love teaching beginners how to find their rhythm on the wheel just as much as I love crafting a custom set for your home.
