About Traveling & Pop-Up Workshops
Why We Travel with Clay
I started The Janbo because travel and stories go hand in hand for me. So I decided, why not take pottery out of the studio and into unexpected places? Our traveling workshops aren’t just about clay - they’re more like a breather from city life, a way to switch off and tune in with something tactile.
Where We Set Up Shop
Chennai is like our second home, and we keep coming back - Adyar, Besant Nagar, Annanagar, you name it. We’ve had some pretty special moments there. And soon, we’re hitting the road to Kochi, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, with our pottery roadshow. Pop-up art camps in new cities are always on the cards.
How You Can Join In
We mix it up with different workshop styles:
- Multi-day camps (usually 5 days) for serious clay heads - from hand-building to glazing, we cover it all.
- Themed one-day sessions, like our Clay Kalai ceramic lamp workshops.
- Recurring city pop-ups. Weekly or monthly, these mobile clay workshops are perfect if you want a creative habit.
What to Expect
No need to be a pro. Just show up curious. I bring everything - clay, tools, snacks, good vibes. You get expert help and your piece shipped home after it’s fired. The vibe’s cozy, maybe a little messy, always friendly. Messy hands, full hearts, that’s us.

My Story
Janbo’s story? Clay, soul, home. Feb 2020, I just dropped everything - job, modelling, socials, even WhatsApp. Me, my room, Pinto (my dog), and silence. No clue what next, just floating. One slow-living vlog with clay hands, and bam, something shifted. Clay walked in, travel sprinkled its magic, people and stories mixed in. That’s how Janbo happened. This studio is my heart, where it all finally made sense.
My Work
Pottery & Creative Workshops - We run pottery workshops for beginners and pros, plus ceramic painting, sculpture, and silver jewellery sessions.
Pop-up Workshops - Our studio’s in Bengaluru, but we often do pop-up pottery workshops in Chennai and other cities.
A Slow Living Vibe - It’s not just a class, it’s a mindful clay art escape. Come solo, bring friends, no experience needed.
