What to Expect from the Session

Our hand-building sessions are designed to be welcoming and playful. They are especially suited for groups of friends and family, as well as complete strangers coming together to share a creative experience.

We incorporate visual storytelling into the session, encouraging participants to explore their imagination and create something unique using the hand-building techniques introduced during the workshop.

The emphasis is not on creating a perfect piece, but on enjoying the process of making and observing how you feel throughout the experience.

Glazing & Firing

We do not offer glaze firing services for hand-built pieces made during the workshop. Participants can opt for bisque firing at an additional cost ranging from INR 300 to INR 1000 depending on the size of the piece. We will take approximately a 1 month cycle to finish your piece.

Once your piece is ready, you are welcome to collect it from the studio. Please send us a WhatsApp message before your visit so we can have your work ready for collection. We kindly request that all finished pieces be collected within three months, after which any unclaimed work will be donated to children from the surrounding village.

TAKING HOME RAW PIECES
We generally do not recommend taking home unfired pieces, as they are still wet and extremely fragile. However, if you wish to carry your raw piece with you, a nominal charge of INR 80 per kg applies to cover the cost of our in-house specialty clay.
CANCELLATION / RESCHEDULING
Please message us on whatsapp 48 hrs before to reschedule. In case of cancellations, the booking amount of INR 500 per person is non-refundable.

Things to Be Mindful Of

  • Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled session
  • Trimmed nails are ideal for wheel work
  • Wear comfortable clothing that is suitable for working with clay
  • Pre-booking is essential, as our sessions have limited slots and are often fully booked in advance
