Most workshops hand you a format. This one starts with a conversation.
Tell us what the two of you imagine making — a pair of mugs that match, two that deliberately do not, a dish for a table you share, something with a date pressed into the base — and Madhumita builds the session around it. The technique follows the idea rather than the other way round.
What you'll do
We talk first, usually on WhatsApp before you arrive, about what you would like to end up with. Then two hours at the table with the technique that suits it — pinching, slab work, botanical imprinting, or time at the wheel.
The session, step by step
- 01Before the day: tell us what you have in mind, and we plan around it
- 02Meet the clay — wedging, and learning what it wants
- 03The build, guided at whatever pace the two of you take
- 04Joining, marking, and pressing anything you want recorded into the base
- 05Clean-up together, which is more of the afternoon than people expect
The session, in motion
What's included
Clay, tools, aprons, and the studio's full attention for the session. Chai.
Wear & bring
Clothes you do not mind marking, short nails, and some idea — however loose — of what you would like to make.
Who this is for
Two people who would rather make something together than watch something together. Couples, but equally two friends, a parent and a grown child, or anyone who wants the table to themselves.
Meet Madhumita
Madhumita teaches every session herself. For a session of two that means genuinely undivided attention — which is the reason this format exists rather than being a discount on a group class.

What to expect, in full
These apply to every session at the studio. Please read them before requesting a slot — booking means you're happy with them.
Glazing takes 3–6 weeks
Glazing involves two separate firings, so your piece is ready 3–6 weeks after the session. We'll message you as soon as it's out of the kiln — there's no need to follow up before then, as firing times can't be sped up regardless of check-ins. Pieces not collected within one month of being ready are discarded, as we have limited storage space.
Fees are non-refundable
Our rates are fixed and don't include discounts. Fees are non-refundable, including no-shows and cancellations.
Handmade, not commercial
This is studio pottery — handmade, one piece at a time, with natural variation from one piece to the next. It won't look like the smooth, uniform finish of commercial ceramics, and that's the point, not a flaw. Since workshop pieces are made by beginners, breakage during the process — while shaping, drying, or firing — is a real possibility, not a rare exception. Glaze results can also vary. This is a normal part of learning pottery, and the studio isn't responsible for pieces that don't survive the process.
Trimming and shaping can't be promised
Whether a piece can be trimmed and shaped properly depends entirely on how it was made. First attempts rarely come out at a consistent thickness, and walls that are uneven — too thin in one place, too heavy in another — can't always be trimmed to a clean profile without the piece collapsing or cracking. We'll always try our best to shape and trim what you've made, but we can't guarantee the outcome. Please don't come expecting commercial-grade perfection from a first build; the wobble is the honest record of your own hands.
Extra time is ₹1,500/hour
Sessions run for the booked duration. Additional time beyond that is ₹1,500 per hour.
What the session covers
Extra requests like jewellery, charms, or pieces outside the workshop scope aren't included — the same goes for underglazing and choosing specific glaze colours. All of it can be discussed as a separate add-on booking if you're interested, so do ask.
Your pace, your piece
Everyone's creative pace is different. We'll guide you through the process, but pottery takes practice — we don't guarantee a specific outcome, and that's part of what makes each piece genuinely yours.
Damage in transit
Pieces are packaged carefully, but we're not responsible for damage once they leave the studio.
Photography at the studio
We may photograph the studio and finished pieces for our social media. Let us know if you'd prefer not to be included.
More about this workshop
How much is it for the two of us?
₹5,000 for the pair — ₹2,500 each. Firing is charged separately by the size of what you make, and shipping within India is ₹200 a piece.
Do we need to know what we want to make?
No, but a rough idea helps us plan. Message the studio beforehand with anything — a shape, an occasion, a colour, a thing you saw. If you arrive with nothing, we will work it out at the table.
Is it just for couples?
It is designed for two people, whoever they are. Friends, siblings, a parent and a grown child. Nothing about the session assumes anything.
Will we have the studio to ourselves?
Not always — other sessions may be running at the same table. If you want the room to yourselves, ask when you message and we will tell you which dates allow it.
Can we give this as a gift?
Yes, though not yet as a self-serve voucher. Message the studio and we will arrange it directly.
Cancellation
Fees are non-refundable, including no-shows and cancellations. Tell us as early as you can if plans change.
