Pottery Classes and Studio Community in Indiranagar
Come visit our Indiranagar studio to see what happens when clay meets community. From beginner wheel-throwing classes to our vibrant student pop-ups, this is where we learn, make messes, and grow together.

Here I am giving a live tour of Ügam, our annual student pop-up. It's incredible to see the variety and quality of work my students produce for their collections.

Introducing my professional course students. I designed a flexible, long-term course for them, proving you don't have to be a full-time potter to pursue your passion seriously.

Introducing Lipika, a UI designer and illustrator who is now one of my professional course students. Her work shows a natural talent for complex and beautifully balanced forms.
Introducing Swathi, a client-turned-student with a background in interior design. She has incredible grit and a clear vision, and is even opening her own studio soon.
Introducing Vrinda, a practicing psychotherapist who is now throwing 3kg of clay effortlessly. Her collection is a stylish spin on hosting a beer party.
Introducing Mansa, a counselling psychologist who blossomed into a potter with solid throwing skills during her time with us. Here she is holding one of her beautiful baking dishes.

About Studio Life & Community
Walking into the studio isn't just about watching a demo; it's about getting your hands dirty while you learn the 'handle math' or discover the meditative flow of the wheel. Whether you are looking to master throwing with a professional course or just want to spend a Saturday making something unique in a workshop, you are joining a group that prioritizes real craft and slow, thoughtful creation over quick results.
Pottery is a solitary act that becomes infinitely better when shared. At GOAK Ceramics, we have built a space in Indiranagar that goes beyond standard classes. Our professional courses are designed for individuals with full-time commitments, offering a flexible, long-term approach to mastering the wheel. You won't just learn basics here; we dive into technical details, including clay shrinkage rates, glaze chemistry, and the anatomy of a perfectly balanced handle.
We host 'Ügam,' our annual student exhibit, which serves as a graduation milestone for our learners. It is where our students—ranging from UI designers to psychotherapists—display collections they have spent months perfecting. It is not about being a full-time potter; it is about the grit and vision you bring to the wheel. If you are curious about the process or looking to start your own ceramic journey, come by for a workshop or drop in to see what our current cohort is shaping. We keep our batches small to ensure everyone gets enough studio time to actually finish their pieces.
