Pottery Courses & Workshops in Bengaluru
Whether you are looking for a weekend escape or a deep dive into professional ceramics, we have a space for you. From one-day crash courses to our intensive three-month vocational program, learn to shape clay and find your creative voice at our Sarjapur Road studio.
Our flagship offering, the 3 Month Intensive Professional Pottery Program. This course is for those serious about making pottery their craft, with options for accommodation and a travel retreat included.
Perfect for those just starting out, our beginner friendly classes cover the fundamentals of both wheel throwing and hand building. We focus on building a strong foundation in a supportive, small group setting.
Our Pottery Crash Course is a great way to get a feel for clay without a long term commitment. In just one session, you'll learn the basics of either wheel throwing or hand building and create a piece to take home.
This 6 day workshop is an immersive experience designed to kickstart your ceramic journey. It's a chance to dive deep, experiment with different techniques, and create a small collection of your own work.
Glazing is an art in itself. Our specialized Glaze Application Workshop teaches you how to mix, prepare, and apply glazes to achieve stunning, professional results on your ceramic pieces.
About this collection
For those considering our three-month professional program, please note it is a full-time, six-day-a-week commitment. We balance two hours of structured instruction with three hours of supervised studio practice daily, so if you are traveling from outside Bengaluru, our residential packages near Kodathi Gate are designed to handle your commute and stay.
Finding Your Path in Clay
At The Janbo, we believe pottery is as much about the mindset as it is about the technique. Our studio is built on the spirit of the road—a place to slow down, disconnect, and let your hands do the thinking. Whether you are a total beginner or a budding professional, our curriculum is designed to meet you where you are.
Our Core Offerings
For the Curious Beginner: If you just want to get your hands messy, our Pottery Crash Course is the perfect entry point. In a single session, you will learn the basics of wheel throwing or hand-building. We focus on the joy of the process rather than the perfection of the product, making it an ideal way to unwind after a long week.
The Deep Dive: For those ready to commit to the craft, our 12-week Professional Pottery Program is a vocational training course that covers everything from clay preparation to professional kiln loading at 1250 C. We teach wheel throwing, coil and slab work, and glaze chemistry, ensuring you leave with both a portfolio of 15-20 finished pieces and the technical knowledge to start your own studio.
Why Learn at The Janbo
- Small Batches: We keep our wheel throwing classes to 4 students and hand-building to 6, ensuring you get real 1-on-1 time with the instructor.
- Full Infrastructure: We provide everything from professional starter kits to unlimited clay usage for practice. You just show up.
- Residential Options: For outstation students, our residency packages include curated, comfortable housing near our Kodathi Gate studio, so you can immerse yourself in the work without worrying about Bengaluru traffic.
- Beyond the Wheel: We also host specialized workshops, including glaze application and creative travel retreats, to help you understand the full lifecycle of a ceramic piece.
The Janbo
I am Madhumita, and The Janbo grew out of my own quiet search for meaning after I left the chaos of my old life. Whether you come for a weekend crash course or our professional program, my goal is to guide you through the same process of slowing down and shaping life with your own hands.
