Maati Sona

I create modern ceramic decor with an Indian sensibility and host pottery workshops for everyone. My work is an homage to imperfection and the therapeutic joy of slow living.

This hand-painted pomegranate bowl is a piece of functional art, bringing vibrant color and traditional motifs to your table. I shape and paint each one by hand, making it a truly one-of-a-kind treasure for your home.

My 'Bloom & Brew' teapot is designed for those who cherish their tea rituals. The bold, hand-painted indigo florals on the off-white ceramic body turn a simple daily routine into a moment of beauty and slow living.

There's nothing like a favorite mug for your morning coffee. This 'Aubergine Drip' mug, with its deep, iridescent glaze and hand-scooped texture, is designed to fit perfectly in your hands and brighten your day.

Welcome to my studio. I'm Arunima, the artist behind Maati Sona. Every piece you see is a part of my journey, and I pour my heart into creating ceramics that bring warmth and beauty into your life.

Here you can see the delicate process of hand-painting a floral design onto a custom platter. Each brushstroke is carefully applied to bring the artwork to life before it's glazed and fired, ensuring the design is permanent and food-safe.

I love creating special pieces for festive seasons. This handful of hand-painted ceramic Christmas baubles shows the intricate and joyful patterns I can create to make your holiday decor personal and unique.

This is my 'Dutch Iris' pasta bowl set, inspired by the delicate flower. The design is hand-carved into the clay, creating a beautiful contrast with the deep indigo glaze. These bowls are perfect for sharing a cozy meal with loved ones.

This hand-painted ceramic bowl is a piece of art for your table. I shape each one by hand and then paint the vibrant pomegranate motif, making every bowl a unique celebration of color and tradition.

My Bloom & Brew teapot is designed to turn your tea time into a special ritual. The bold, hand-painted indigo florals on the creamy ceramic base bring a touch of elegance to your daily routine.

The Pink Sienna mug showcases a beautiful contrast I love to play with. A glossy, rosy pink glaze meets a rustic, earthy finish, with delicate flowers I carve by hand to reveal the clay beneath.

The festive season is my favorite time to create. Here is a glimpse of my handmade Christmas collection, featuring whimsical gnomes and candle holders that bring a warm, handcrafted glow to your home.

In preparation for Ganesh Chaturthi, I sculpt these Ganesha idols from natural, eco-friendly clay. Each one is shaped with devotion, complete with a tiny mouse companion, ready to bring blessings to your home.

Here I am at a local market, surrounded by my creations. Meeting you in person and sharing the stories behind each piece is one of the most rewarding parts of my journey with Maati Sona.

Handmade Ceramic Wares

I make small batch, handmade ceramic mugs, bowls, plates, and decor—each piece is shaped by my hands, unique, and safe for daily use.

350-3,500

This is where the magic begins. There's nothing quite like the feeling of wet clay spinning on the wheel, ready to be shaped into something new. It’s a moment of pure focus and potential.

Look at that smile! This is the joy we aim to create in every class. The moment you lift your very first creation off the wheel is truly special, and we love sharing it with you.

Beyond the wheel, hand-building opens up a world of possibilities. Here, a student uses a simple wooden stamp to add a personal, leafy texture to a plate made using the slab technique.

Pottery is an experience best shared. We love hosting couples and friends for a 'clayful date', where you can connect, laugh, and create something beautiful together.

Just a few of the wonderful pieces made by our students in a 10-day workshop. From beaded bowls to a cup inscribed with 'chai', each piece tells a unique story.

We love celebrating festivals with clay. Our special Christmas workshop is a chance to handcraft your own festive ornaments and add a personal touch to your holiday decor.

Wondering where to start? We have a path for everyone. This breaks down our most popular workshop formats, from a one-day taste to a comprehensive 10-day course.

This is me, Arunima, in my happy place. I started Maati Sona to share my love for clay, and it's a joy to welcome so many creative souls into our studio.

My Story

My work’s all about slow living, embracing imperfections, and keeping things Indian yet modern. Every piece I make is a bit wonky, a bit precious, and all heart.
