About Custom & Bespoke Pottery
What I Do
I love turning ideas into clay. For me, making custom pottery isn’t just about following instructions - it’s a real partnership. You bring your vision, I bring my hands and heart. We end up with something that’s truly yours.
What We Can Make
- Personalised pottery for home - mugs, bowls, dinner sets, tumblers, lidded jars, hand-pinched pieces for that wild, organic look
- Bespoke tableware sets - including matcha tea sets with Chawan, whisker stands, and more in colours you pick
- Unique festive clay decor - diyas, lamps, Christmas ornaments, even Ganesha idols (ekdum apna style - totally your vibe)
- Custom pet portrait pottery - pet faces, favourite symbols, or a memory carved or painted into your bowl or vase
- Handcrafted ceramic gifts - planters, vases, sculptures, one-off decorations
- Bulk orders for cafes or business - mugs, pourers, coasters, splash glaze, whatever your brand needs
How It Happens
- We chat about your idea - design, colours, feel
- I make it - wheel thrown or hand built
- Decoration - painting, carving, splash glaze, you name it
- Into the kiln for magic
What’s Real About Handmade
Each piece is made by my hands. No two items will ever be bilkul same (exactly alike). Expect small quirks, tiny marks from the kiln - that’s what makes it special. If you want factory perfection, this isn’t for you. If you want a piece with soul, I’m your person.

My Story
Clay and me, we go way back. Making pottery just fills me up with joy, and sometimes, it’s all about emotions. Like that sgrafitto bowl I made for Sonu Rabbit—miss you, buddy. Every Ganesha festival, Alle Bappa Alle! I make my own idol, and it’s pure peace. Nine years running this studio, and watching our Ganesha idol making workshop become a big deal in the community—total proud moment. I love seeing folks shape memories from mud, together.
