[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/studiokarva/private-pottery-events/gallery) I love returning to my alma mater, V.E.S., to share the joy of clay with architecture students. It is about feeling the material, understanding structure, and growing together through hands-on practice. ## Photos and videos - ![A beautiful moment of collaboration during a workshop for architecture students.

You will be wedging material and exploring structural forms by hand, which is often a needed break from screens. These sessions typically run for 3 hours, and since we accommodate groups of up to 25, the energy in the room is high, collaborative, and focused on learning from each other as much as the process. ### Understanding Clay as a Material For an architect, understanding the material is half the battle. In these workshops, we skip the abstract theory and focus on what clay can actually do. You will learn the basics of clay preparation, wedging, and hand-building techniques like pinching and coiling. These are fundamental skills that translate directly into a better understanding of structure and form, regardless of whether you are designing buildings or ceramic pots. ### Why Architecture Students Returning to V.E.S. and working with students from various colleges is one of my favorite things. I have seen how the creative block that hits on a computer screen vanishes when your hands are covered in mud. The goal here is a digital detox combined with a masterclass in patience and resilience. Sometimes a piece collapses, and that is where the real lesson starts. ### Workshop Logistics - **Capacity:** We can host groups of 5 to 25 people comfortably. - **Duration:** 3 hours of dedicated studio time. - **What you get:** Unlimited clay, access to all tools, and firing for 2 pieces per person. - **Collection:** Finished pieces need time to dry and fire, so we coordinate a bulk pickup 3 to 4 weeks after the event. Everything is provided, so you just need to bring yourselves and an open mind. Bahot shukriya for keeping the community of makers alive. ## About Studio Karva I'm Rashi. I have been working with clay since 2004, and nothing beats the energy of a full studio. Returning to V.E.S. to teach the next generation of architects is always a privilege. It is about community and the honest, grounding process of creation.
