About Pottery & Ceramics Classes & Workshops
Where Stories Start in Clay
I see clay as more than just mud - it’s a way to tell your story. At Clay Station, you’ll find a mix of people, from total newbies to those dreaming of a career in ceramics. Everyone’s got their own reason for joining, and that’s kinda the best part.
Try It Out or Go All In
If you just want to see what pottery feels like, our beginner and taster sessions are chill. There’s the one-day ‘Rendezvous with Clay’ if you’re curious, or our full beginner courses in hand-building and wheel throwing workshops for those ready to dive deeper. Sometimes we run workshops just for making miniatures - fun, quick, and very satisfying.
For the Serious Clay Buffs
If you want to really get into it, our 4.5-month foundation program is where you’ll learn everything - from mixing glazes and understanding clay to making your own bowls, mugs, and even trying out sgraffito (basically, doodling on clay). We keep it flexible with weekday and weekend batches.
Level Up Your Skills
Already know a bit? We’ve got advanced workshops for stuff like sculpting faces, slip casting, or making teapots. Our ceramic hand-building classes go beyond basics, so you can refine your own style.
Celebrate Your Work
When you finish a big course, you get to show off at our student exhibition (Arangetram). It’s your time to shine, sell your stuff, and maybe even surprise yourself with how far you’ve come.
Not Just Teachers, Real Mentors
Everyone here’s a specialist - some love the science, others love the messy bits. We’re here to cheer you on, not just teach you.

My Story
We started Clay Station just wanting a spot for anyone to mess around with clay, no pressure. Turns out, people loved it – artists, hobby folks, total newbies. Teaching became our thing. Best bit? Our 'Arangetram' show, where our students get to show off, sell, and see what the real art world feels like. We also kicked off an artist residency, so serious potters get space to experiment, go wild, and even help us cook up new glazes.
My Work
Ceramic art classes for all - From total beginners to pros, we run everything – short workshops, our 5-month foundation pottery course, sculpting human portraits, and more.
Artist Residency in ceramics - Serious about clay? Our residency gives artists space, mentorship, materials, and a shot at their own gallery show.
Therapeutic clay workshops for teams - Ditch the laptops, grab some clay. Our team workshops are messy, fun, and a proper break from work.
Pottery supplies and studio gear - We make and sell clays, glazes, tools, kilns – basically, everything your studio could need.
Real-world art exposure - Students get to sell and show their work at our big events like 'Arangetram' – it’s not just class, it’s community.
