About

For me, pottery isn't just about making pots. Every piece I shape comes with a bit of a story, a mood, sometimes even a memory. I work in small batches, so each mug or bowl feels personal—kind of like wearable stories you can actually use.

Collections & Collabs

  • My collections aren’t random—they’re based on real ideas or a vibe I can’t shake off.
  • Déesse is all about the old Bombay feel, with mugs carved with little details you won’t find anywhere else.
  • KHUMĀR gives off full-on nostalgia, with beer mugs and plates made for those chill evenings with friends.
  • Sometimes, I team up with other folks for exclusive lines, like earthy tableware with that perfect night-glaze.

Custom Commissions

If you’ve got a vision, I’m all for it. We chat, sketch, go back and forth till it feels right. Could be custom ceramic gifts, a personalized pet bowl, or even one big statement piece for your space. I love figuring it out with you.

What I Make

  • Drinkware: mugs (my jam), goblets, tumblers, shot glasses
  • Serveware: bowls, plates, teapots, jars
  • Decor: vases, planters, incense holders
  • Quirky stuff: artist palettes, brush rests, charms

How I Work

Each piece is wheel-thrown stoneware or hand-built in my studio. I get into the details—the math for comfy handles, carved textures, even a bit of jugaad (basically, creative hacks) to get things just right. It’s slow craft, but that’s what makes it real.

My Story

Three years back, Goak Ceramics was just me, a tiny room, and a few wheels. Clay was the start, but it’s really about the folks who come in, get messy, and leave with muddy hands and grins. We’ve built a little tribe here, sharing stories and learning together. My work, like the Déesse mugs, comes from my heart, and somehow, it finds people who get it. This space is shaped by everyone who’s been part of it.
