Handmade Ceramic Art and Custom Tableware
Welcome to our studio. These pieces are just a glimpse into our process—from playful, hand-painted mugs to intricate wall art, every item is crafted by hand, not machine.
This large, vibrant wall mural is one of my proudest creations, bringing a burst of color and nature indoors. Each flower and leaf is individually crafted and painted, making it a truly one of a kind statement piece for a home or business. I love working on custom ceramic murals like this to transform a space.
Here is a look at my sgraffito process, where I meticulously carve through layers of color to reveal the design underneath. This technique allows for incredible detail and texture, as seen on this hand painted ceramic plate. It is a time consuming process, but the beautiful, layered outcome is always worth the effort.
This clay sculpture was inspired by a powerful photograph I saw of a Lambadi tribal girl. I wanted to capture her unique style and confident attitude in the clay. Creating figurative sculptures like this allows me to tell a story and infuse the piece with emotion and character.
I find so much joy in painting flowers, and these handmade ceramic coasters are like a garden of unique blooms. Each coaster features a different floral design, making them a perfect, artful gift for any occasion. They are ideal for adding a splash of color to your coffee table.
This custom mirror is a great example of combining different art forms. I used hand cut mosaic tiles inspired by Madhubani art to create a frame that is both functional and a piece of wall decor. The final installation shows how bespoke art can become the centerpiece of a room's design.
I designed these large, hand painted ceramic bowls to be used as diyas, perfect for festivals like Diwali or as unique decorative bowls. The interior features a hand painted rose, adding a beautiful detail when lit or used for serving. These are available in limited numbers and make for a thoughtful handmade gift.
I love adding a bit of fun to my work, like this quirky moustache mug. It is a simple, handmade mug with a playful personality. As a little surprise, I painted a bright red heart on the inside, a secret message for the person using it.
This video shows the process of sculpting a ceramic sheep, from a simple lump of clay to a detailed, textured figure. Each curl of wool was individually shaped and applied, a process that requires hours of patience. This is the kind of detailed sculptural work I love to create for custom commissions.
About Featured
Because we hand-shape and paint every piece without using molds, you won't find two items that are identical. When you order, we are not just pulling something off a shelf; we are working on clay that will eventually carry your own personality, whether it is a hidden heart inside one of our mugs or specific floral patterns on a custom wall mural.
Our Handmade Approach
At Oriri Studio, we believe that objects should tell stories. Whether it is a set of dinnerware or a large-scale mural, we avoid mass production entirely.
- Sgraffito and Hand-Painting: We often use sgraffito, a technique where we carve through layers of color to reveal the design underneath. It is time-intensive, but it gives our plates and bowls a depth that machine-printing cannot replicate.
- Custom Commissions: Have an idea for your home? We love working on custom ceramic wall art, including Kalamkari-inspired murals. We start with a concept discussion to match your interior theme, then move to sketches and color selection.
- Durability and Care: Every piece is high-fired up to 1200°C. This makes our stoneware durable, food-safe, and ready for daily use. While you should avoid the microwave for pieces with metallic lusters, most of our dinnerware is dishwasher-friendly.
Customization Options
If you are looking for a gift or a piece for your home in Bengaluru, we offer:
- Personalized Gifting: From mugs with hidden messages to nameplates, we ensure your gift is one-of-a-kind.
- Custom Tableware: Need a serving bowl to match your dining set? Let us know the dimensions and preferred motifs.
- Sculptural Pieces: We also create expressive, hand-built figures, like our tribal-inspired sculptures, using coil and slab techniques.
