Creative Retreats, Studio Events & Kiln Firing
Pottery is about more than just the wheel. From our creative travel retreats to professional kiln firing and a quiet workspace, we have built a sanctuary for the slow-living artist in Bengaluru.
The Janbo was born from travel, and we're taking it back to the road. This video announces our 30 day, 8,000 km journey from Bangalore to Ladakh, where we'll be connecting with artists and sharing stories along the way.
We combine our love for travel and pottery in our creative retreats. This journey to Kuttanad, Kerala, was filled with inspiration from new landscapes, cultures, and the simple joy of creating in a different environment.
Travel can be a form of therapy, a chance to heal and rejuvenate. We believe in the power of exploration, and our travel and pottery retreats are designed to offer a space for self care, clarity, and connection.
Our beautiful, spacious studio is available to rent for your next creative event or workshop. We love seeing our space filled with new energy and ideas from the wider creative community in Bangalore.
Looking for a peaceful and inspiring place to work? Our studio also functions as a creative coworking space. It's the perfect escape from the usual work from home setup, designed for focus and collaboration.
For fellow potters, brands, or ceramic enthusiasts who don't have their own kiln, we offer professional firing services. We can handle bisque, low, mid, and high range glaze firings in our electric kiln.
Nothing goes to waste here. This video shows our process for recycling clay using a plaster slab. We collect all our dried scraps and slake them down to be reused, a sustainable practice that's an art in itself.
About this collection
If you are a potter with a collection of bisque ware but nowhere to fire it, you can drop by our Sarjapur Road studio for professional kiln services. We handle everything from low to high-range glaze firings up to Cone 10, keeping the process sustainable by recycling all our clay scraps right here in our plaster slab molds. Whether you are a brand needing batch firings or an individual student, we offer a reliable space to finish your work.
Our studio at Kodathi Gate is more than just a place for classes. It is a shared ecosystem for the creative community.
Kiln Firing Services
Finding a reliable kiln can be the hardest part of being a hobbyist potter. We offer professional kiln firing services for local artists, brands, and ceramic enthusiasts. We provide bisque and glaze firing options, accommodating a range of temperatures to ensure your work is durable, food-safe, and professional.
Coworking & Studio Rental
Tired of working from home? Our studio is available for rent as a collaborative coworking space. It is designed for those who need a quiet, aesthetically focused environment to build their own projects without the distractions of a typical home office. You get access to a dedicated wheel station, storage, and a community of like-minded creatives.
Creative Travel Retreats
Janbo was born from travel, and we want to share that journey with you. We organize curated 5-7 day retreats that combine pottery with exploration—from landscape sculpting workshops in the mountains to visiting traditional potter communities in places like Pondicherry or Kerala. These are not standard workshops; they are escapes designed to help you reconnect with your creativity while navigating new landscapes.
Community & Sustainability
We believe in leaving nothing behind. Every scrap of clay you see is recycled through our plaster slab process, slaking down hardened waste into a malleable, reusable form. It is slow, intentional, and respectful of the material. If you want to know how we maintain this, or if you need to book the studio for a private event, just reach out.
The Janbo
I'm Madhumita. Janbo started as a way to find my own rhythm on the road, and now it’s a space where I want others to find theirs. Whether we are exploring new landscapes on a pottery retreat or sharing a quiet morning of work in the studio, it is always about connection, clay, and the stories we create together.
