Over the years, I’ve often been asked what makes this Professional Course different.

The honest answer is that it wasn’t designed by sitting down with a blank sheet of paper and deciding what should be taught. It emerged from years of making, teaching, travelling, seeking mentors, making mistakes, asking questions and watching students grow.

Every experience has left behind a conviction.

That learning doesn’t end when a course does.

That thoughtful mentorship can shorten years of trial and error—not by providing answers, but by helping us ask better questions.

That surrounding yourself with people who challenge your thinking is one of the greatest investments you can make in a creative life.

That a curriculum should evolve alongside the practice of the person teaching it.

And perhaps most importantly, that success isn’t measured by whether every student develops the same aesthetic or follows the same path. It is measured by whether they leave with the confidence, judgement and curiosity to build a practice that feels true to them.

This programme is simply an expression of those convictions.

Every cohort changes it. Every workshop I attend, every conference I return from, every conversation with mentors, peers and students influences how I think about teaching. I hope it always stays that way.

If you’re looking for a course that simply teaches you how to throw, trim and glaze, there are many excellent ones.

If you’re looking for a programme that asks you to think critically about your work, build a sustainable practice, embrace critique, remain a lifelong student and engage with the broader ecosystem of ceramics, then this programme may resonate with you.

Applications for the 2026 Professional Pottery Course are now open.Course commences on the first week of October.

Four seats.

One cohort.

Applications close once the cohort is filled. DM for course details.

For a long time, I thought becoming a potter meant becoming better at pottery.

Looking back, that turned out to be only one part of the work.

Every stage of the journey introduced a question I hadn’t anticipated. When do I invest? What should I make? How do I know if a form works? How do I photograph it? Price it? Package it? Tell its story? Find opportunities? Continue learning while running a studio?

None of those questions arrived because I had a plan. They emerged because I kept making, paying attention, and responding to what the work demanded next.

Over time, I realised that what I was building wasn’t just a body of work. I was building a way of thinking—a practice of observing, questioning, experimenting and adapting.

That understanding has shaped the Professional Course far more than any single technique or project ever could.

If you’re considering building a life around clay—not just learning pottery, but understanding what it takes to sustain a studio practice—I would love to have that conversation with you!

Applications for the 2026 Professional Course are now open.

Over the past eight months, I’ve watched Nimisha / Nimisha | Potter in the making approach pottery the same way she approaches everything else—with intention.

When we first met, she came with questions. Not many, but exactly the right ones. She already knew she wanted to pursue pottery seriously. What she wanted to understand was whether my approach to teaching could help her get where she wanted to go.

That first conversation turned out to be an accurate preview of the months that followed.

Nimisha is someone who doesn’t rush decisions. She reads deeply, thinks carefully, and is willing to stay with uncertainty until the answer reveals itself. That quality shaped every stage of her graduation collection.

While the inspiration behind Torii was clear from the very beginning, giving it form took time. We spent weeks questioning proportions, surfaces, textures and colour before the collection found its final voice. Through all those pivots, she remained remarkably steady. She trusted the process completely, and in doing so, often made it easier for me to trust it too.

As teachers, we hope our students leave with technical confidence. Every now and then, one also leaves behind a lesson for the teacher. Nimisha has been that student for me.

I’m incredibly proud to introduce Nimisha and her graduating collection, Torii, at ÜGAM 2026.

Welcome to the community of professional potters, Nimisha. I can’t wait to see where your curiosity takes you next!📸 Namrata | Handmade Ceramics + Pottery School & Community Space

Last, but certainly not least, meet Rucha / Rucha Dhayarkar —our twelfth exhibitor, at ÜGAM 4.0. An artist, designer, animator and an integral member of the A Ware community, Rucha first discovered pottery through a hobby course at A Ware Studio over two years ago. Since then, she has quietly and consistently developed her practice, bringing an unmistakable sense of curiosity and play to everything she creates. Her debut collection is a reminder that sometimes our greatest creative breakthroughs begin with the things we first try to correct. In her own words:

“The inspiration behind this body of work is the simple yet profound form of a spiral — but it came from an unexpected place.
When I was learning ceramics, spirals kept appearing in my work by mistake. It was frustrating. I spent a long time learning to correct them, and eventually I could. But the form never really left my mind.
Spirals are everywhere in nature — waves, sea shells, curled seedpods, the Milky Way. As an artist driven by form, the shapes a spiral gave rise to fascinated me deeply. So at some point I stopped asking how to correct it and started asking — what happens if I don’t?
This body of work is my attempt to answer that. Each piece is its own investigation of the spiral form — worked individually, nothing templated, no two alike. The imperfection is the point. It’s what gives each piece its own identity.
I think of them as tactile art objects. Things you pick up, turn over, run your fingers along. The form reveals itself slowly — in the curves, the edges, the places where the spiral decided to go.”
Come see her work up close, at Ügam, happening on the 5th of July, Sunday, at BIC Domlur

Next in line is Shivangi / Shivangi , a textile designer by profession, founder of Bela | बेला , and a long-standing member of the A Ware community. Since discovering pottery about a year ago, she has continued to refine her practice with remarkable consistency. Her collection is an invitation to look more closely at the natural world—to notice the beauty hidden in places we often overlook, and to reconsider what we instinctively dismiss. In her own words:

“There is a whole world beneath our feet that most of us instinctively recoil from. Fungi, algae, bark, spores, the quiet and often invisible architecture of decay and growth. My work for this exhibition draws from exactly that world.

Over the past two months, I’ve been exploring mushrooms and fungi as the central theme for a series of ceramic pieces, some wheel-thrown, some handbuilt. What draws me to fungi isn’t just their form but their texture. The way a gill structure fans out, the way mycelium spreads like a map, the way a spore print looks almost like a painting. At a microscopic level, these organisms are strikingly beautiful and I want my work to make that visible.

The focus across all the pieces is surface relief, replicating the textures of various mushroom species and fungal forms directly onto the clay. The goal is that when you look at the piece, you also feel it. Functional and decorative, depending on what the form asks for.

I’m still learning. These pieces come from a place of genuine curiosity more than technical mastery, and I think that shows in the work, in the best way I hope. The idea is simple—beauty lives in the things we ignore. Fungi just happen to be full of it.”
Come see her pieces, in person, at Ügam, on the 5th of July, at BIC, Domlur

Next in line at Ügam is Megha / Megha Menon , an architect who has been practising pottery for over five years. An alumna of A Ware Studio’s Intermediate Pottery Program, she came to the studio to further refine her skills, building on an already established practice. Drawn to working with her hands since childhood, her love for craft and her sensitivity to material continue to shape her work in clay.

For this collection, Megha turns to the quiet beauty of Shoja, a small village in Himachal Pradesh. In her words:

“As an architect, I’ve always been drawn to colour, texture, and form—especially the quiet beauty of earthy palettes.

Shoja, a small village in Himachal Pradesh, became the inspiration for this collection. It wasn’t the skies or rivers that captivated me, but the weathered rocks, their naturally formed pigments, and the dark wooden homes that blended effortlessly into the landscape.

This collection brings those earthy hues and textures onto clay—a palette borrowed from nature and shaped by hand.”
Come see her beautiful body of work, at Ügam, on the 5th of July, at BIC Domlur.

Next in line at Ügam is Anisha/ Anisha , an architect whose creative practice extends beyond buildings and into clay. Over the past year, she has been a part of the A Ware community, returning to the wheel week after week to explore a material and process vastly different from the precision and predictability of her professional world. Her collection reflects this ongoing journey between architecture and pottery—between structure and intuition, control and surrender.

In her own words:

“My everyday as an architect is bound by precision, scale, and the deliberate geometry of space. But over the past year, I have been learning a gentler, more visceral structural language at the wheel. What began as a beginner’s curiosity has deepened into a sacred weekend ritual—a rhythm of resistance and release.

The work I’m exhibiting at Ügam are physical remnants of my weekly dialogue with clay. It is not a display of uniform silhouettes or matching glazes, but an honest, raw record of a year spent finding the soul of the maker hidden beneath the skin of an architect.”
Come see her work in person at Ügam,on the 5th of July, at BIC, Domlur.
