Here is where the clay journey began. ## Photos and videos - ![With my team and family at the exhibition opening of my sculpture, the Navrasa Stambh.

Whether it's a manual gas kiln or an automatic electric one, I still find myself sitting with it, feeling the heat rise.

Whether we are firing a gas kiln or wedging clay, I am there, hands-on, because the best way to learn is to experience the heat and the mess alongside someone who has been through it all. My path with clay began in 2004, and it has been a continuous process of learning, failing, and growing. Over the years, I have had the privilege of training under wonderful mentors like Ray and Satpurananda, and sharing that knowledge at institutions like IDC, IIT Mumbai, and V.E.S. has been a massive part of my own development. ### Why the Studio Process Matters Many people see the finished ceramic piece, but the real story is in the process. From the quiet focus of throwing on the wheel to the intensity of a gas kiln firing, every step is a lesson. When we work with clay, we are observing with all our senses. My studio, Studio Karva, was built to be a space for this kind of connection—a place where the community thrives on chatter, laughter, and the inevitable mess of creating. ### Learning Together I believe in teaching through experience. Whether you are looking for advanced pottery classes in Mumbai or just want a space to practice, my approach is practical and rooted in reality. We don't just teach the 'how-to'; we navigate the ups and downs of ceramics together. - **Mentorship:** I share what I have gathered from years of experience in both wood and gas firing. - **Community:** We are a group of 'Clay Folk' who understand that failures are just as important as the successes. - **Adaptability:** My studio is shifting to Deonar, bringing new equipment, including a new electric kiln, to support your growth. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned potter, my goal is to walk with you on this journey. Bahot shukriya for being part of this space. ## About Studio Karva I’m Rashi, and for me, clay is a lifelong conversation. I’ve spent the last two decades learning from incredible mentors and teaching at institutions like IDC, IIT Mumbai, and now, I’m building a community here at Studio Karva where we can all grow, fail, and create together.
