About A Look Inside Our Studio
When you walk into our Nehru Place or Gurgaon studios, you won't find assembly lines. You will see the slow, intentional process of turning raw stoneware into finished pieces. Every mug and bowl you see here started as a lump of clay on the wheel, and we embrace the slight asymmetry that comes with handmade work, so you get a piece that is truly one-of-a-kind.
We believe that pottery is about more than just the end result. It is about the quiet focus it demands. In our studios, you will see artists hand-building sculptures, throwing vases on the wheel, and carefully loading the kiln for the firing process. This collection gives you a glimpse into that journey—from the fresh, unfired clay stage to the shelves stocked with finished, food-safe stoneware.
If you are looking to experience this yourself, we offer various ways to engage:
- Taster Workshops: Perfect for beginners, these sessions let you try the wheel and get a feel for the clay.
- Hand-building Classes: Focus on creativity without the wheel, great for making specific items like mugs or trinket dishes.
- Corporate & Group Events: We host teams and private groups who want to take a break from the screen and work with their hands.
Whether you are planning to join a class, or you are simply curious about how we craft our festive lotus diyas and home accents, our doors are open. We use high-fired, lead-free stoneware in all our work, ensuring that every piece is not only beautiful but also microwave and dishwasher safe for your daily use.
The Clay Company
I'm Aparna, and I started The Clay Company because I wanted a space where people could slow down and get their hands messy. We aren't about factory-perfect goods; we are about finding calm in the process of creating something with your own two hands.
