About Pottery Workshops
Why I Call It a 'Clay Date'
I run these pottery workshops because I love watching people let loose and get creative with clay. My studio in Indiranagar is small and full of sunlight, and every session feels more like a hangout than a class. Most folks who walk in have never touched clay before - that’s actually the best part.
What Happens Here
- 2-3 hours just making stuff with your hands, no fancy wheels or pressure.
- I teach basic hand-building techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab work.
- Groups are super small - only six people max, so I can actually help everyone.
- Everything you need is sorted: clay, tools, aprons, firing, glazing - sab kuch (everything).
- I show you some jugaad tricks too (clever hacks).
What We Make
We switch up themes all the time. Past workshops have seen people make:
- Mini tealight houses, fishy wall chimes, and planters
- Your own ceramic mug (yes, you can use it for chai or coffee)
- Snack plates, pet bowls, and even quirky egg trays
- Wearable art like pins and pendants
The Journey of Your Piece
After you finish sculpting, I dry, fire, glaze, and fire again at super high temps. Takes a few weeks, but your piece comes out food-safe and microwave-safe, ready to use or gift.
Who Comes
People try this for a unique date, chill weekend, solo unwind, or team-building. No experience needed, just come ready to play.

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.
My Work
Pottery Collections & Commissions - I make limited-release pottery collections and take custom orders. Each piece has its own story.
Pottery Courses & Workshops - Beginner to advanced wheel throwing classes in Bangalore, plus handbuilding sessions with lots of studio time.
Clay Dates Workshops - One-day, beginner-friendly events where you make fun stuff like teepee incense holders or plant pockets.
Déesse Collection - Mugs, tumblers, and vases inspired by two Bombay sisters, blending storytelling with handmade art.
Pottery Nerd Sessions - I share studio hacks and get into the nitty-gritty so you learn the real craft, not just basics.
