Unique Ceramic Home Decor and Hand-Sculpted Art
Bring warmth to your living space with handmade ceramic decor. From nature-inspired vases to custom lampshades, every piece is crafted to make your home feel truly yours.
Carve and paint your own ceramic vase in this weekend workshop! I'll guide you through creating your design, and after firing, you'll have a beautiful vase to take home.
Create your own beautiful trinket tray in my one-day workshop. We use real flowers to press into the clay, creating delicate and permanent imprints.
The journey of a lampshade begins with a pencil sketch on greenware (unfired clay). This is where the design is carefully planned before any carving or color is added.
The first layer of color is applied to the lampshade design. This step starts to bring the pattern to life.

My workshops cover both wheel throwing and hand-building, where you can create anything from bowls to this adorable little clay house.
This monstera leaf spoon rest is a piece by my daughter, Malvika. She has been playing with clay since she was four and loves creating nature-inspired art.
These hanging ceramic lampshades were a custom project designed to transform a simple corner into an artistic feature.

About Unique Home Decor
Every piece is fired in our own kiln, meaning I have full control over the final finish. Whether you prefer a rustic, earthy texture or a smooth, glossy glaze, we make sure the end result fits your space perfectly. Because these items are made by hand, expect slight, beautiful variations in every vase or lamp that ensure no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
Bringing Soul to Your Space
When you choose handmade home decor, you are bringing more than just an object into your room. You are bringing a story. Whether it is a hand-thrown vase sitting on a bookshelf or a sculpted lampshade casting soft light in a corner, these pieces are made to be lived with and loved.
What I Create
My studio in Jeevan Bima Nagar focuses on items that blend form and function:
- Vases & Vessels: From small bud vases to statement floor pieces, often featuring nature-inspired textures like leaf imprints or organic shapes.
- Lampshades: I enjoy working on light diffusion, carving patterns into the clay that create beautiful shadows when lit.
- Trinket Trays: Perfect for your bedside or entryway, these are often hand-built and pressed with real flowers or textures.
- Wall Art: Larger ceramic panels that transform empty walls into points of visual interest.
The Process
If you have a specific vision, we start with a conversation. We discuss the mood you want—perhaps something minimalist and calm, or something textured and raw. I often use wheel-throwing for symmetry or hand-building for those more whimsical, organic forms.
Since I handle everything from the initial sketch to the glaze application and firing in my own kiln, I can update you on how your piece is coming along. High-fired stoneware means these items are durable enough for daily use, not just for display. If you have a corner in your home that needs a little something extra, let's talk about how we can shape it together.
