When you visit us in our Byculla mill compound, you are stepping into a genuine working space. It gets dusty, the industrial fans are always whirring, and that is precisely the point — we keep it real so you can actually get your hands dirty without worrying about making a mess. ### Our Studio Philosophy We don't believe in perfection from day one. To us, pottery is *riyaaz* (practice). You will see this in the way we run our studio; it is not about churning out flawless products, but about the process of learning. Whether you are here for a weekend workshop or a long-term membership, you are stepping into a community that values the journey over the result. ### What Happens Behind the Scenes When you see a piece of pottery in our gallery, you are seeing the result of several weeks of work. A typical day in our studio involves: * **Clay Prep:** We prepare our own clay bodies to ensure they handle the heat of our kilns properly. * **The Wheel & Hand-Building:** You will often find students and professionals working side-by-side, sharing tips on pinching or centering techniques. * **The Glaze Lab:** This is where the magic happens. We spend hours experimenting with glazes and loading kilns for the fire. ### Visiting the Studio We are located in an old mill compound in Byculla East. It is a space designed for focus and creativity, away from the typical Mumbai rush. If you are joining us for a class, bring clothes you do not mind getting clay on. We provide the aprons, the tools, and the tea, but you should bring a willingness to be a beginner. We host everyone from complete novices taking their first 1-hour wheel session to experienced potters participating in our advanced Raku firing masterclasses. Come by to see the kilns being loaded or to catch a guest artist demonstration. This is not just a place to make a mug; it is a place to find a bit of quiet in a loud city. ## About Studio White & Gray I am Sandeep, and I built this studio because I was tired of nowhere to go in Mumbai to simply work with clay. This is a space where we treat pottery as 'riyaaz' – a practice that is as much about the mess as it is about the final mug.
