Pottery Workshops & Creative Clay Sessions
Join us for a mindful escape with clay. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to pick up a new creative habit, our traveling pottery workshops offer a space to slow down, get messy, and shape your own functional art.
Come get your hands dirty and your heart full. This is what our pop-up pottery workshops feel like: a calm space to escape the everyday, learn something new, and connect with your creative side. No experience needed, just bring your curiosity.
Imagine making this with your own hands. In our ceramic lamp workshop, you'll learn to shape, design, and finish a beautiful, functional piece of art. We guide you every step of the way, from a lump of clay to a warm, glowing lamp for your home.
This is what it's all about. Smiles, new friends, and a table full of handmade treasures after our very first workshop in Chennai. The energy in the room was pure magic, and it’s moments like these that keep us coming back.
The journey is just as important as the destination. Our story started on the road, and we continue to take our pottery to new places, meeting fellow artists and gathering inspiration along the way. This was day one of our 541 km trip from Bengaluru to Belagavi.
Pottery activity alert for our friends in Chennai. We host regular workshops in the city, offering a perfect weekend plan to unwind and create. We bring all the materials and guidance for both wheel throwing and hand-building.

Sometimes, healing is about finding a quiet moment to yourself. For me, travel and pottery are a form of therapy, a way to recharge and gain clarity. Our workshops are designed to give you that same space to breathe and reconnect.
About Featured
Our workshops are not just about making a pot; they are about the process of slow living. We handle the entire backend, from providing the clay and tools to the complex task of trimming, bisque firing, and glaze application at our studio. Your finished, professionally fired piece is then couriered directly to your doorstep, so you do not have to worry about the logistics of handling fragile ceramic art.
The Journey of Clay
We believe that pottery is more than a craft; it is a form of therapy. At The Janbo, we take this philosophy on the road, hosting workshops in cities like Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. Our sessions are designed for those who want to disconnect from the digital rush and reconnect with their hands.
What Happens at a Workshop
Whether you join our one-day sessions or our immersive five-day camps, the experience is guided and stress-free. We provide everything you need:
- Guidance: From centering clay on the wheel to handbuilding techniques, our instructors are with you every step of the way.
- Materials: We bring high-grade stoneware clay, portable electric wheels, and all necessary sculpting tools.
- Environment: We partner with local cafes and creative spaces to create a cozy, relaxed atmosphere where you can create comfortably.
Why Professional Firing Matters
Many people worry about their creations breaking during the drying or firing phase. We ensure every piece created in our workshops undergoes the full professional ceramic process. Your work is transported to our Bangalore studio for drying, bisque firing, glaze application, and final glaze firing. This ensures your handmade bowl, cup, or lamp is durable, food-safe, and ready for daily use in your home.
The Janbo
I am Madhumita, and The Janbo started because I needed to find myself again after hitting a wall. I found that peace in the silence of clay, and now, I travel across the country to share that quiet, messy, creative magic with you.
