Behind the Scenes at Our Pottery Studio

The studio has a new home! Here I am in our new, spacious location in Deonar. We are so excited to welcome you all to this beautiful space.

Here I am at the wheel in our new studio space. It has been a journey to get everything set up, but it's wonderful to be creating here. Thank you to everyone who has walked this path with me.

It takes a village! Moving a large, heavy coiled pot requires teamwork. My wonderful students and assistants jumped in to help move this piece for an upcoming show. This is community in action.

Wedging clay is a constant, essential task in the studio. It's the physical preparation that makes all the creative work possible.

Spiral wedging is another technique for preparing clay. There is no single right way; with practice, you observe and develop the method that works best for your body.

Sometimes, a piece doesn't work out. The best thing to do is let it go and return the clay to its source, to be reclaimed and used again for a new creation.

A few quiet moments in the studio. From the incense that cleanses the space to the focus on the wheel and the final muddy water, every part of the process is a chance to be present.

Sometimes we must just pause. Making art is a way to rest from the unending thoughts and ambitions. These simple leaf impressions in clay are a reminder to find beauty in the small moments.

I am currently spending three months as an Artist in Residence at Hampi Art Labs. This time is for personal practice and exploration, doodling in the local clay from Sandur village.
