Featured Ceramic Art and Custom Pottery
I believe clay holds stories. This collection is a look at my favorite pieces, from custom home installations to hand-painted platters that capture life’s special moments.
This video shows the journey of a custom-designed ceramic sink, from a simple lump of clay to a beautiful, functional piece of art in a client's home. It was a joy to bring this vision to life, shaping it by hand, spray-glazing it for a perfect finish, and seeing it installed.
This is my 'Floral Grace' vase, a piece I am incredibly proud of. It is wheel-thrown and then adorned with hundreds of tiny, individually handcrafted clay flowers, with little touches of gold to catch the light.
Art can also be playful. I loved the challenge of creating this complete ceramic chess set, where each piece is hand-sculpted and the board is made of custom-glazed terracotta and stoneware tiles.
I love working on large-scale projects that transform a space. This custom wall installation features dozens of terracotta tiles, each with a unique white design, coming together to tell a story of nature and life cycles.
Sculpting is a meditative process for me. This video shows the careful work of hand-building a serene facial sculpture, carving away clay to reveal the form and emotion within.
A pot can be a canvas. Here, you can see the process of hand-painting a modern design onto a teardrop-shaped vase using underglazes before it goes into the kiln for its final transformation.
From the wheel to your table, this video captures the making of a large salad bowl. I show the trimming process to perfect its shape and the final, gorgeous green glaze that makes it a centerpiece.
Some projects are incredibly special. This plate was a custom commission, hand-painted with a depiction of the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory as a retirement gift for a scientist who spent his career there.
About Featured
Creating a custom piece is rarely a quick process. Whether it is a hand-sculpted basin or a commemorative plate, I usually spend three to four weeks on the production—from the initial consultation to the slow drying and the double-firing cycles needed to ensure the piece lasts for years.
My studio in HSR Layout is where these ideas take shape. You might see a video of a sink being glazed or a chess set coming together, but every step is intentional. I work primarily with stoneware and terracotta, handling everything from large-scale wall installations to functional tableware.
If you have a specific vision—like a portrait on a platter, a custom-shaped basin for your home, or a unique gift—we start with a conversation. We discuss dimensions, usage, and material durability. I walk you through the production stages, including firing temperatures and finish choices, so you know exactly how the object will behave in your space. This isn't mass-produced work; it is slow, deliberate craft. Each piece carries the marks of my hands and the quirks of the kiln, which is exactly where the character comes from. Whether you are looking for abstract sculptures or daily dinnerware, I am here to help you turn that idea into a tangible piece of art.

Hi, I am Bhavya. I run The Potter's Place, where clay is just my excuse to connect with people and tell their stories. Whether I am teaching a workshop or sculpting a custom piece, I am always looking for that quiet magic in the mess of the studio.
