About Pottery Workshops
Why I Love Pottery
For me, pottery is more than clay - it's a kind of therapy. Every time I sit at the wheel, I feel calmer, kinder, somehow lighter. I want you to feel that too. My studio is where you can forget about perfect and just enjoy getting your hands messy. You’ll leave with something you made yourself, but also with a big smile.
What You’ll Find Here
- A chill, no-judgment space to play and create. We put on some music, have a laugh, and let the clay do its thing.
- All skill levels are welcome - never touched clay? No worries, our beginner pottery workshop is the most popular for a reason.
- Love company? Bring your partner for a pottery date night, come with friends, or even the whole family for a group session. Corporate teams also come in for a break from the usual office stuff.
Sessions for Everyone
- Wheel throwing class and hand-building pottery session included for beginners.
- Special workshops for kids on weekends and during summer.
- Want to go deep? I run a 10-day course where you really get to dig in.
- Sometimes we try out quirky techniques like Sgraffito, Nerikomi, or making a custom mug or planter.
The Nitty-Gritty
- I provide all the clay and tools, just bring your curiosity.
- Finished pieces stay back at namma studio for firing - I’ll let you know when to pick up your masterpiece.
Clay has a way of surprising you. I hope you’ll find a bit of joy and calm here, just like I do.

My Story
Hey, I’m Maya. Clay feels like magic in my hands, and my studio? That’s where I find peace. Started out just me, spinning the wheel for myself, but now it’s a buzzing spot—nature vibes, lots of laughs.
