About Pottery Workshops & Classes
Why Clay Feels Like Magic
Working with clay is my way to slow down and heal. Sharing that feeling with others is what makes my studio feel alive. I love seeing people’s faces light up when their first piece takes shape - that’s the real magic for me.
Studio Vibe
My studio in Mumbai isn’t a formal classroom. It’s more like a creative adda (hangout). You’ll find good music, friendly faces, and always a cup of chai (spiced tea) in hand. The vibe is relaxed, and you can just be yourself.
What You’ll Learn
I suggest most folks start with hand-building pottery techniques - it’s easy to pick up and super versatile. If you’re curious about the pottery wheel experience, we offer that too. You’ll get to try pinching, coiling, slab building, and wheel basics. We make plates, bowls, planters, murals - whatever you feel like.
How It Works
- You shape your piece with my help
- I fire it in the kiln for you
- You come back and collect your finished creation
Who Can Join
Anyone! Absolute beginners, couples, friends, families - all are welcome. If you want a creative clay workshop or a private pottery session for a special occasion, just let me know. People have made everything from travel bowls to birthday plates here. The memories stick around, just like the clay.

My Story
Fall and Christmas, that’s my jam. I’m a true Bong, always making Pithas and baking cakes with carols blasting. My online shop kicked off in the pandemic, honestly, I had zero clue it’d take off. The love from you all saved my studio. Teaching pottery, watching folks shape clay for the first time—pure joy. Imperfect, wobbly, but so full of heart. That’s what keeps me going.
My Work
Handmade Decor, Tableware, Jewellery - I make quirky, fantasy-inspired pieces - elves, gnomes, magic, and experiment with Pop Art too.
Custom Orders & Pottery Classes - I take custom requests and run handbuilt pottery classes for all levels, even wobbly pottery workshops.
My Style - Almost everything’s handbuilt, organic, asymmetric. Imperfect joints? Yep, and that’s the charm.
Pottery Workshops - Celebrate occasions or memories. I guide everyone - couples, siblings, anyone wanting to create with clay.
