I love teaching students how to find their rhythm with the mud, whether you are a complete beginner taking a one-day workshop or working through a full professional pottery course. Every class is designed to be a relaxed, hands-on experience where you learn the actual craft, from handle math to glazing, in a space that feels like a second home. Three years ago, GOAK Ceramics was just me, a tiny room, and a few wheels. Since then, we have grown into a thriving community right here in Indiranagar, with over 100 students having passed through our doors. For me, pottery has always been about more than the final mug or bowl; it is about the conversations we have while our hands are covered in clay. My work often starts with a narrative. Whether I am carving intricate details into my Déesse Collection or testing a new glaze for a custom commission, I am constantly looking for ways to blend function with storytelling. I believe that if you are going to use an object every day, it should have a bit of a soul. If you are looking to get your hands messy, my workshops are the perfect place to start. I keep my groups small so I can actually spend time with each of you, helping you troubleshoot your throwing technique or figuring out how to balance a handle just right. We focus on high-fired stoneware, which means everything we make is durable enough for daily use in your home. I don't believe in gatekeeping the craft. If you are curious about the technical side, from cone temperatures to the physics of clay, I am always happy to dive into the nitty-gritty with you. Come by the studio, share a coffee, and let’s make something together. ## About Gauri Oak I’m Gauri, and GOAK Ceramics is my heart and soul in the middle of Indiranagar. I balance my time between crafting limited-edition collections and mentoring a growing community of fellow pottery enthusiasts. Come by, get your hands muddy, and let’s make something real together.
