In these sessions, we focus on structural integrity, ensuring that the lamp base you build or the bowl you throw on the wheel is durable, functional, and feels right in your hands. When we make things for the home, it is not just about how they look on a shelf. It is about the comfort of a mug that fits your grip or the warmth of a lamp you crafted yourself. In these functional art workshops, we move past basic shapes to create items that serve a purpose. We work primarily with high-grade stoneware clay for these projects, which allows for the strength needed for daily use. If you are joining us for a lamp workshop, we provide all the hardware—bulb holders and wiring—so you leave with a plug-and-play piece. For crockery projects, we guide you through the trimming and glazing process. Because these pieces are functional, they go through our full studio kiln firing process, which includes a 900°C bisque fire and a 1200°C glaze fire to ensure they are durable. Keep in mind that functional ceramics are a slow process. Because we want your work to be food-safe and long-lasting, the finishing, glazing, and kiln cycles take about four weeks. You will need to swing by our Sarjapur Road studio to pick them up once they are ready. Whether you are crafting a full chess set or a simple lidded jar, the goal is the same: to create a piece that brings a quiet, handmade joy to your home. ## About The Janbo I am Madhumita, and The Janbo is my heart on a shelf. I started this studio to find a bit of quiet in the rush of life, and I hope you find that same sense of peace when you sit at my wheel.
