About Pottery Classes & Workshops
Why Pottery Feels Like Sukoon
Pottery is my meditation, my sukoon (peace). At Studio Meeraya, I see clay as therapy - people walk in stressed, walk out smiling. It’s not about making perfect pots, it’s about letting go, laughing, and creating something that’s yours. You leave your worries at the door and just connect with your hands and heart.
Who Can Join?
No experience? Arre, koi baat nahi! (No worries!) My beginner pottery workshop is for everyone - solo, couples, families, kids, even office teams.
- Couples pottery experience: The Clay Date is a hit - way better than dinner and movie, trust me.
- Kids pottery party: Toddlers, older kids, families - all welcome. Kids love making handprints and wild shapes.
- Team outings: Get your colleagues off their screens and into the mud.
- Just for you: Come alone, spend time with yourself. Sometimes, that’s all you need.
What Happens in a Session?
- Choose hand-building pottery class or try the potter’s wheel.
- Get messy, I’ll guide you through every step. Centering clay is tough but fun.
- Make your own bowl, mug, or dish. Paint it, leave it with me for glazing and firing.
- Pick up your finished piece later - something you made, something to keep.
Sometimes things flop, sometimes they turn out awesome. Life hai bhidu! (That’s life, dude!) The process is always worth it.

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.
