About Custom & Commissioned Ceramics
I love bringing a bit of your story into my ceramics, making each piece by hand so it’s not just decor, but something with real meaning. It’s hard to let go of my work sometimes, but knowing it’s going to someone who’ll really value it makes it worth it.
What I Make
- Personalized ceramic wall art, like Kalamkari-inspired murals or custom nameplates
- Hand-painted dinnerware set, quirky mugs, and unique bowls (sometimes with a little secret message inside)
- Bespoke ceramic gifts for weddings, festivals (Diwali, Christmas), bachelorettes, or just because
My style is bold and playful - I’m obsessed with flowers, leaves, and animals. You’ll see bright colours, a bit of quirk, and sometimes even recycled glass melted in for that special touch.
How We Work Together
- Share your idea with me - anything from a rough thought to a full plan
- If you’re around North Bangalore, we’ll meet in the studio and chat more
- I do all the shaping, painting, and firing by hand, so your piece is truly one-of-a-kind
Honestly, handmade takes time and sometimes it means little details won’t be “factory perfect” - but that’s the charm. You’re getting a slice of my time, skill, and heart, not just another object.

My Story
We’re Oriri Studio, and honestly, nothing beats that buzz when someone spots our work. Like, one time, LBB Bangalore shouted us out on Insta - I nearly spilled my coffee! But the real joy? Seeing a kid’s grin at a pop-up, clutching a ceramic candy cane. That’s why we do this. Inspiration hits from everywhere - once, a photo of a Lambadi girl just stuck with me, and bam, she ended up in clay. Every piece, it’s got a bit of our story.
My Work
Pottery Classes & Workshops - We run hand-building pottery classes and wheel sessions for beginners, plus chill workshops and open studio hours.
Quirky Handmade Ceramics - Our plates, bowls, planters, and wind chimes all have personality - nothing here is mass-produced.
Small Batch Pottery Workshops - Classes are tiny, just 4 people per batch, so you get real attention and learn everything from wedging to glazing.
Custom Art & Bespoke Tableware - Got an idea for a ceramic mural or unique tableware? We love making custom pieces for your space or gifts.
