Slow down and discover the beauty of handmade pottery in this 2-hour handbuilding workshop at The BirdSong Retreat in Pushkar. This experience is beginner-friendly and designed for travellers who want to create something meaningful with their hands.
Learn three fundamental pottery techniques—pinching, slab work, and coil building—to shape your own functional or decorative piece. Once your form is ready, dive into surface decoration using methods like carving, sgraffito, appliqué, slip trailing, and underglaze painting.
The session is guided step-by-step, allowing you to experiment, play, and explore your personal style at a relaxed pace.
Your finished piece will be set aside to dry after the workshop. Firing is not included, but you can choose to have your piece glazed and fired at an additional cost. Guests staying longer can collect their fired work, and short-term travellers can opt for shipping.
This is a calm, hands-on experience that lets you connect with clay, learn traditional techniques, and enjoy the slow, earthy rhythm of pottery in Pushkar.
