HAND-BUILDING POTTERY COURSE

 10 days | ₹15,000

Unleash your inner sculptor — no wheel required.


WHAT’S HAND-BUILDING, YOU ASK?
It’s clay in your hands. Literally.
This isn’t a fast-spinning-wheel situation — this is slow, soulful, and deeply satisfying. You’ll shape, pinch, coil, and slab your way into forming beautiful, functional (and wildly imperfect in the best way) ceramic pieces — all with your two hands.

Whether you’re a curious beginner or someone who’s secretly been watching pottery reels at 2am… this course is for you.


WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Week 1 — Foundations

  • Slab building — Create trays, planters, mugs & more

  • Coil building — Sculpt vases, vessels & freeform pieces

  • Pinch pots — The oldest, most satisfying clay technique

  • Understanding clay bodies, shrinkage, and drying cycles

Week 2 — Design & Personal Projects

  • Surface design techniques — Underglaze, texture, carving, sgraffito

  • Decorating using slips, oxides, and tools

  • Guided time for personal projects — with feedback & support

  • Firing and glazing basics — Get to know the magic of kiln transformation


WHAT YOU TAKE HOME

  • Up to 6 fired & glazed pieces (made by you, loved by all)

  • A new creative skill that’s equal parts meditative & magical

  • Clay confidence: the ability to explore hand-building on your own

  • Plenty of mess. Plenty of memories. And maybe a mug that’s a little wobbly but all heart
