A look into the pieces that define our journey. From hand-built sculptural forms to daily rituals, these items show how we turn clay into stories.
This is where it all begins. The gentle spin of the wheel, the feel of cool clay, and the slow transformation of a simple lump of earth into something with a soul. For me, this is more than a process, it's a meditation.
I love when my students pour their own stories into the clay. This terracotta sculpture, named "Naughty Girl," is a perfect example of capturing a spirit, a mood, and a bold personality in three-dimensional form.
Inspired by a flower caught in a breeze, the Wild Petal Vase is hand-built to capture the beauty of nature's perfect imperfections. Its organic shape and textured surface make it a piece of art, with or without flowers.
Who says a game of chess can't be charming? I crafted this "Cocoa Clash" ceramic chessboard with quirky, wobbly warriors and soft pastel glazes to bring a playful touch to a classic game.
Come closer and see the details. Pottery is a tactile art, a conversation between my hands and the clay. Every pressure, pull, and smooth-out is part of the journey to creating a piece you can hold in your own hands.
Welcome to my happy place. My studio in Sarjapura Road, Bangalore, is a cozy haven filled with light, plants, and endless creative energy. It's where I work, teach, and share my love for clay with our community.
During our Ganesh Chaturthi workshop, the studio was filled with a special kind of devotion. This beautiful Ganapathy idol, sculpted from natural terracotta clay, was created by a student who channeled their faith into every detail.
About this collection
Every piece here has been fired at high temperatures for eighteen hours, ensuring the stoneware is durable enough for daily use while keeping that raw, tactile feel. Because we hand-build or wheel-throw everything in small batches, you might find slight variations in glaze or shape, which is exactly how you know it was shaped by human hands and not a machine.
When you hold one of our bowls or mugs, you are feeling the specific pressure and pull of the craft. We believe that perfectly smooth, mass-produced ceramics miss the soul of the art. Our process embraces the marks left by fingers and the unpredictability of the kiln.
Whether it is our signature Sip Buddy with its custom straw slot or a hand-sculpted chess set, every item begins with local clay and a lot of patience. We focus on high-fired stoneware because it lasts, but we keep the aesthetics raw, earthy, and honest.
You can find us at our studio near Kodathi Gate, Bangalore, where we not only create these pieces but also host workshops. If you want to see how a lump of mud turns into a functional piece of art, or if you want to pick up a specific vase or platter for your home, feel free to visit. Since each batch is limited, we recommend messaging us to check what is currently available on our shelves.
