Every piece I make carries a bit of my story, imperfections and all. Started this studio in 2018, wanting to blend modern forms with an Indian vibe, but never losing that earthy, handmade feel. ### Why My Ceramics Feel Different - Every mug, bowl, or vase is shaped by my hands, not machines. No two pieces come out looking exactly the same. That’s the charm - thoda imperfect, thoda perfect (a bit imperfect, a bit perfect). - I work in small batches. You’re not getting something mass-produced. Each item feels like it has a life of its own. - I use wheel thrown pottery and also hand build some pieces - depends on the mood and the design. ### What You'll Find - **Tableware**: Hand-painted ceramic mugs, rustic cups (some even say ‘Chai’ or ‘Coffee’), pasta bowls, plates with nature-inspired art, and teapots that make every tea time feel special. - **Home Decor**: Vases and planters with colourful Indian motifs, quirky fridge magnets, and tiny sculptures. - **Festive Specials**: I make limited edition collections for festivals - think Christmas candle holders and cute gnomes. ### A Bit About How I Work - I mix techniques - wheel thrown, hand built, carved, and painted. Expect a mix of earthy textures and glossy finishes. - Most tableware is lead-free, microwave and dishwasher safe. - I’m always up for custom hand built ceramics. Got an idea? Let’s make it happen together. My pieces are for folks who love small batch functional ceramics with a story. ## Highlights Browse through Maati Sona's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/maati_sona/handmade-ceramic-wares/featured) - ![This hand-painted ceramic bowl is a piece of art for your table.

Clay’s my sona (gold), truly. Started this in 2018, right before I became a new mom—life’s been a bit of a juggle since! 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. If you’ve ever wanted to slow down and just play with mud, you’ll vibe here. ### My work - **Pottery Workshops for All**: From clayful date pottery workshop to deep-dive 10-day courses, anyone can join—no experience needed, just come ready to get muddy. - **Handmade Home Decor**: I make modern Indian ceramic decor that’s eco-friendly and unique—every piece’s got its own quirks, no two are the same. - **Custom Ceramics**: Want something special? I create eco-friendly handmade ceramics for your home, made just for you. - **Open, Relaxed Studio Vibes**: My studio’s chill—newbies, couples, friends, solo folks, all welcome. It’s about unwinding, not being perfect. ## More services from Maati Sona - [Bespoke & Custom Ceramics](https://mytribe.in/maati_sona/bespoke-custom-ceramics) · ₹600-3,500 per piece (estimate) - [Pottery Workshops & Classes](https://mytribe.in/maati_sona/pottery-workshops-classes) · ₹1,000-2,500 per person per 2-hour workshop (estimate) ## Book To book Maati Sona, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Handmade%20Ceramic%20Wares%20by%20Maati%20Sona.)
