    4-Day Pottery Course

    ₹5,000

    A Strong Foundation

    This course is where most people begin and where many discover how grounding pottery can be. Over four guided sessions, you'll learn the basics of hand-building, create simple functional forms, and understand how clay behaves during drying. You'll also get your first taste of independent studio time.

    You'll take back

    A few finished or ready-to-fire pieces — and a clear understanding of the pottery process.

    Includes

    • 4 guided sessions (90 min each), spread over 4–7 days
    • Hand-building basics, functional forms & finishing
    • Drying awareness
    • 1 free open studio session

    Firing not included — see kiln policy

    7-Day Pottery Course

    ₹8,000

    Everything from the 4-day plus control, confidence, and repetition

    The 7-day course builds directly on the 4-day foundation, giving you time to repeat, correct, and refine your work. This is where pottery starts feeling intentional rather than experimental. You'll expand into wheel basics, work with multiple forms, and develop a better sense of balance, proportion, and drying.

    You'll take back

    More finished pieces, better consistency, and noticeably improved control.

    Includes

    • Everything from the 4-day course
    • Hand-building + wheel basics
    • Multiple forms & shapes
    • Improved balance, proportion & drying awareness
    • 2 free open studio sessions

    Firing not included — see kiln policy

    21-Day Pottery Course

    ₹24,000

    Everything from 4 + 7 days — pottery becomes a daily practice

    The 21-day course is full immersion. By now, skills move from thinking to muscle memory. You'll spend enough time in the studio to work independently, explore surfaces, and create a small but meaningful personal body of work. This course is less about "learning techniques" and more about living the studio rhythm.

    You'll take back

    A coherent set of pieces, studio confidence, and a deep relationship with clay.

    Includes

    • Everything from the 4-day and 7-day courses
    • Advanced hand-building, wheel & surface work
    • Drying & firing awareness
    • Independent practice & personal body of work
    • 5 free open studio sessions

    3-Day Ceramic Jewellery Making

    ₹5,000

    Design it. Sculpt it. Paint it. Wear it.

Working with clay, texture, and colour, you'll sculpt, shape, and paint pieces that are expressive, wearable, and completely your own. Over three days, you'll create 7–8 handcrafted ceramic jewellery pieces — pendants, earrings, rings, and small sculptural forms.

    You'll take back

    A personal collection of ceramic jewellery you can wear, gift, and keep.

    • Designing and sculpting ceramic jewellery
    • Surface texture, painting, and finishing
    • Guided sessions spread over three days
    • Firing included for jewellery pieces
