What Did Our 5 Weeks Beginners Course Students Say About Their Experience

The Beginning of My Ceramic Journey

When I came to Dharamkot Studio for a pottery course, I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. This course was a gift I gave to myself-a step outside my comfort zone to develop my art to a new realm of creativity.

Most of my joy came from exploring texture, colors, and underglazes, a technique that sparked endless possibilities for my work. I’m excited to delve deeper into this process and experiment more with colored clay and underglazes in the future.

Ultimately, my goal is to build a studio of my own-a space where I can continue to create, experiment, and share my love for art, nature and ceramics with others.

I learned that pottery is as much about the process as the result

As an entrepreneur and artist, I find inspiration in blending art with everyday life. Whether designing kitchens spaces and wardrobe, painting, photographing moments, or crafting culinary experiences, I see artistry in every detail.

Initially, I focused on final forms, believing they defined pottery’s purpose. However, under the guidance of incredible mentors at Dharamkot Studio, I learned that pottery is as much about the process as the result.

Enjoyed experimenting with different techniques

I’ve been working with ceramics for the past three years in Paris. My journey led me to Asia, where I spent time meeting ceramic artists and learning about their craft and lifestyle.

When I arrived at Dharamkot Studio, I already had a basic understanding of pottery. During my time here, I strengthened my skills in wheel-throwing, while also developing a deep passion for hand-building, a world where I took my first steps.

A Ceramic Journey Begins

In the beginning of the year I had a calling to explore pottery which led me to a journey to India and Dharamkot Studio. Surrounded by nature and mountains I entered the studio with curiosity and felt a warm feeling within me, inspiration and connection with the clay right from the beginning.

Guided by supportive teachers and friends I discovered that pottery is not just about crafting beautiful objects but embracing the process of creation itself. Each setback became a lesson, teaching me patience, resilience, and the value of starting over.

Clay teaches me to nurture, focus, and care-for it and myself

Working with clay mirrors my internal world, revealing my emotions and mental state. If my mind. races, the clay resists centering; if I lack compassion and acceptance, it collapses. When I’m stressed, it cracks.

Pottery has become a space of healing and grounding for me. Joining this batch and learning from incredible teachers is just the beginning.
