About Personalized Pet Pottery
I use the Sgraffito carving technique for these portraits, which means I hand-carve every line of your pet's face into the clay to capture their unique personality forever. Because I handle every step from wheel-throwing to the final firing, please keep in mind that a custom piece usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to complete. It is worth the wait, I promise. 🥰
When I created that memorial bowl for my Sonu Rabbit, I realized that clay carries emotions in a way that simple photographs just cannot. That is exactly what I want to offer you—a piece of art that keeps your pet close to your heart.
The Process Behind Your Piece
These are not just printed mugs. I use high-fire stoneware clay, meaning your piece is durable, microwave-safe, and completely food-safe. The process is very tactile and personal. I start by throwing the form on the wheel or hand-pinching it for a more organic feel, then apply a layer of colored slip. Once it is leather-hard, I carve the portrait through the slip to reveal the clay underneath. This Sgraffito style gives the design a deep, textured feel that lasts as long as the ceramic itself.
Let's Collaborate
You can send me a photo of your pet, and we can chat about the pose or little details you want to highlight—maybe a floppy ear, a specific spot, or a collar they always wear. We will discuss the colors and the overall feel before I start working. Since I run the studio here in Whitefield, you are always welcome to pick up your pieces once they are out of the kiln, or I can have them carefully packed and delivered to you anywhere in Bangalore. 🙏
