Clay & Glaze Pottery Workshop: Center Yourself in Clay

Located in the artistic spirit of Pondicherry, Clay & Glaze offers immersive pottery sessions for all levels. You’ll learn how to shape and mold clay into beautiful pieces using both wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. The experience is as meditative as it is creative — and you’ll leave with a piece of art that’s fully your own.

Whether you want to craft mugs, bowls, vases, or incense holders, the Clay & Glaze team guides you with warmth and skill. This is not just a workshop; it’s a memory you take home — fired, glazed, and full of personal touch.
