I bring together the materials and knowledge I use in my own practice, making studio-grade pottery accessible to every learner in Mumbai. ## Photos and videos - ![This is the foundation of my craft. I source a wide range of raw materials, from various clays like Red Terracotta and China Clay to essential minerals like Silica, Feldspar, and Grog. I believe having access to quality, tested materials is the first step in any potter's journey.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a16fd5a5-f492-4003-be32-d438e24620ff) - ![The magic of glaze chemistry, displayed in a library of test tiles.

You can see us discussing custom-made tools, like a perfectly balanced paddle, and demonstrating faceting on the wheel. Sharing this practical knowledge is at the heart of what I do.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/549a4b8a-e631-4813-9888-aee37301700b) - ![A glimpse of what's possible with our stoneware clay and glazes.

The answer is simple: when I began, nothing was available, so I had to make it myself. This led me to think, "Why not me?" I wanted to make the path easier for the next generation of potters in India.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d9bc14c9-3a55-4f05-b18f-8ca10db089c7) - ![A finished piece from my Shibui Collection, finding its place in a quiet moment.

I do not just supply these materials; I use the exact same terracotta, stoneware, and handcrafted trimming tools in my own daily practice. You are not buying generic stock here—you are getting materials tested for Mumbai’s climate and my specific high-fire firing standards. ### From Earth to Object: The Foundation of My Practice Pottery is a discipline of repetition. Over the years, I realized that many students struggled to find materials that actually worked for Indian conditions, so I started sourcing and testing them myself. This collection represents the core elements you need to build your craft. #### Why Material Choice Matters Whether you are hand-building an idol or throwing stoneware tableware, the clay body dictates your success. * **Red and Yellow Terracotta:** Ideal for low-fire projects like garden ware or traditional idols. * **Signature Stoneware:** My go-to for high-fire pieces. It contains the perfect amount of grog to provide strength, ensuring your pieces survive the kiln without cracking. #### Tools That Feel Like an Extension I grew tired of generic, flimsy tools that broke or felt unbalanced. My workshop series includes hand-carved hardwood paddles and high-carbon steel trimming tools, modeled after traditional Japanese designs. These are crafted to be ergonomically correct, allowing you to work longer without fatigue. #### The Process of Learning This studio is built on the belief that everyone can learn. Beyond the materials, this cluster highlights our workshop process—where you create the piece, and we handle the technical glazing and firing. If you are looking to move from a hobbyist to a serious maker, we offer the guidance to help you understand the chemistry of glazes and the mechanics of wheel throwing. Everything you see here is the result of years of testing, failing, and refining—the real 'riyaaz' of pottery. ## About Studio White & Gray I am Sandeep. I set up Studio White & Gray because I wanted to bridge the gap between wanting to learn pottery and actually having the right clay or tools to do it. For me, pottery is a constant practice, and I am here to help you get the gear and guidance you need to start your own.
