About Handmade Pottery & Custom Commissions
Why I Make Pottery
Pottery is my therapy, my sukoon (peace). Every piece I make holds a bit of my heart. When you pick up something from my studio, you’re not just buying an object - you’re getting my journey, with all its ups and downs.
What You’ll Find
-
Ready-to-buy pieces straight from my studio
- Functional ceramic dinnerware: plates, bowls, platters, cups, and those quirky mugs for your morning chai
- Hand-painted pottery decor: vases (big and tiny), candle holders, trinket dishes
- Personalized pottery gifts: Hamsa incense holders, festive decorations, keepsakes
-
Custom clay art commissions
- You dream it, I’ll craft it. Bulk orders for cafes, unique decor for hotels, or a plate with your kid’s handprint - I handle painting and glazing myself to make sure it’s just right
How It Happens
- Shaping clay on the wheel or by hand for organic forms
- Adding character with textures from nature - pine cones, leaves, whatever I find
- Finishing, painting, glazing, then firing in my kiln
Imperfectly Perfect
Inspired by kintsugi, I celebrate the cracks and stories. Handmade isn’t flawless, but it’s real. Life hai bhidu! (That’s life, dude.) If you want something with soul, you’ll find it here.

My Story
My studio is my little world, full of quirks and coziness. Took me ages to feel comfy in my own skin, but here I am, kiln and all. That first kiln from Canada, what a drama! I love finding beauty in imperfection - broken but beautiful, that's my motto. Once, IIT Mood Indigo called me to judge, me! Never thought I'd even get past their gate. Some days, I just paint, water plants, sip coffee, breathe. Simple joys.
My Work
Handmade ceramics & pottery classes - I make handmade ceramics, teach pottery, and host clay dates for couples. No experience needed.
Pottery birthday & bachelorette parties - You can book my studio for a pottery birthday party or hens party. We keep it fun and messy.
Therapeutic clay workshops - My studio is a chill spot for healing and bonding. Clay helps with heartaches and rage.
Custom pottery for hotels & cafes - I do custom commissioned work for cafes and hotels. Every piece gets my personal touch.
Pottery glazing experience - I glaze all my pieces myself. Trust issues, maybe, but I want them perfect before they leave.
