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
