Pottery & Process
All our pots are made in red earthenware clay. We use our own glazes and pigment mix to decorate them. The pots are fired at earthenware temperature in our electric kiln.
All our pieces are food and drink safe. Our ramequins and baking dishes are oven-proof (standard kitchen ovens up to 220 degrees Celsius). Although it is fine to use microwaves every once in a while, they should be avoided on a regular basis as they weaken the strength of earthenware ceramics over time. Dishwashers are too harsh on handmade pottery, so please wash your pots by hand and make sure they are fully dry before putting them away.
Our pots are made in earthenware clay, which requires a little more TLC than other types of ceramics such as stoneware. Chipping and cracking mostly happen while washing and drying your pots, so here are a few tips to prevent knocks and shocks. Avoid putting your pottery in piles of dishes in the sink and in the drying rack/basket as those are prone to collapse or rock about. If the drying rack or basket is full, place a towel on a kitchen top and dry the pots upside down. Or, if you can, dry the pots by hand with a towel after washing.
Shop
Unfortunately, we ship only within India.
The outlets that keep our pottery include The Shop (Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kochi, Goa) and 113 in Chandigarh.
We update our shop when we are ready to bring you a sufficient number of new pieces, and we aim to do so about twice a year. To keep informed about our shop updates, we recommend signing up for our newsletter.

We only offer a two-month programme for advanced students as we prefer to go more in-depth in terms of skills and creative practice. Please visit our Teaching page to know more.
