When you join a session, I will guide you through using the Shimpo wheel to center your clay, but be prepared for the process to be unpredictable. You will be creating one piece to take home, and because I personally handle the trimming, glazing, and two rounds of kiln firing to ensure your work is food-safe, your finished bowl or cup will be ready for collection in about four weeks. ### Understanding the Wheel The potter's wheel is a tool that requires patience. In my studio, we do not focus on speed or mass production. Instead, we focus on the tactile connection between your hands and the clay. During these sessions, I provide unlimited practice clay, giving you the freedom to fail and try again until you feel the center of your piece. ### Why the Timeline Matters Many students ask why they cannot take their work home immediately. The journey from wet clay to a durable piece is technical. After you throw your pot, it must dry slowly to prevent cracking. I then trim it, let it dry further, and put it through the first 'bisque' firing. Only after that can I apply the glazes and fire it a second time. This process takes roughly four weeks, but it ensures your ceramic piece is non-toxic, microwave-safe, and built to last. ### Who This Is For This cluster is for anyone in Mumbai who needs a break from the city. You do not need to be an artist to join. Most people who book this session arrive saying they have no creative skills and leave with a finished bowl or cup they made themselves. If you are looking for a calm space in Bandra to breathe and create, you are in the right place. ## About The Pottery Lab I am Rekha Goyal, and I have been playing with clay for 26 years. My studio in Pali Hill is a green escape from the chaos of Mumbai where we turn messy clay into something beautiful. I love watching people walk in nervous and leave with a big smile and a creation they made with their own hands.
