At The Pottery Lab, I see clay as a way to slow down and just be present, whether you’re a total newbie or you’ve tried your hand at it before. ### Who Can Join? Honestly, you don’t need to be an artist. Most people who walk in say, “I can’t even draw a straight line!” and that’s totally fine. My studio is about the process, not perfection. If you want to try hands-on pottery classes or just want to hang out and make something with your hands, you’ll fit right in. ### What You Can Try - Quick, single-day workshops if you want a taste of the pottery wheel experience or want to try clay hand-building techniques like pinch, coil, or even Japanese nerikomi. - Multi-week beginner pottery course for those who want to dig deeper and learn everything from basics to glazing. - Advanced sessions for folks who want to experiment and develop their own style. ### What’s Included You don’t need to bring anything. I provide all the clay, tools, glazes, and handle the kiln firing. Your piece will be food-safe and microwave-safe when you get it back. The only catch? You’ll need to wait a few days for the firing process, but trust me, holding your finished piece is worth it. ## Highlights Browse through The Pottery Lab's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/potterylabx/pottery-workshops-courses/featured) - [Video: This is my favorite moment in class, the breakthrough!

Been playing with clay for 26 years now, and The Pottery Lab in Bandra is my little green escape from Mumbai’s chaos. Pottery for me is therapy - hands in mud, mind goes blank, just the wheel and you. People walk in nervous, but leave grinning with their own creation. We’ve built a community here - lots of laughs, some quiet afternoons, and over 8,000 stories spun on the wheel. ### My work - **Pottery Sessions for All**: Beginner and advanced pottery, wheel throwing workshop Mumbai, hand-building, Nerikomi pottery classes, wall art, and plate painting. - **No Experience Needed**: Anyone can join. We guide you, you have fun, maybe discover you’re creative after all. - **Private Events & Celebrations**: Birthday, anniversary, just a chill day - private pottery events Bandra for your group. - **Team Building with Clay**: Pottery team building activities that are actually fun. Colleagues get messy, laugh, and connect. - **Our Studio Vibe**: Calm oasis in Pali Hill. Mondays are slow, and you can just breathe here. ## More services from The Pottery Lab - [Corporate & Team Building Workshops](https://mytribe.in/potterylabx/corporate-team-building-workshops) · ₹1,800-5,000 per person per session (estimate) - [Private Pottery Parties & Group Events](https://mytribe.in/potterylabx/private-pottery-parties-group-events) · ₹2,000-4,000 per person per session (estimate) - [Art & Craft Workshops](https://mytribe.in/potterylabx/art-craft-workshops) · ₹3,500-5,000 per person per session (estimate) ## Book To book The Pottery Lab, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Pottery%20Workshops%20%26%20Courses%20by%20The%20Pottery%20Lab.)
