Pottery - Sculpting - Art
At the top of the hill in Tapovan, Aavya Pottery Studio is a rustic haven with arched windows opening to the sky. Step inside and feel the magic — the scent of earth, the hum of wheels, the quiet joy of creating. Here, you can shape clay, sculpt, or paint, all while soaking in the soulful energy of Rishikesh. With our café just next door, it’s a place to linger — to touch the earth, connect with the winds, and lose yourself in art at the top of the hill.
A Soulful Creative Retreat
Our Vision
We envision a thriving community where clay becomes a language and every hand tells its own story. A space where artists and students come together, shaping not just pottery but experiences, connections, and magic itself. Within these walls, creativity flows freely, mistakes are celebrated as steps toward mastery, and the studio breathes with the rhythm of shared imagination. It is more than a workshop—it is a sanctuary where sparks of inspiration ignite, friendships are molded, and the simple act of creating becomes a magical journey.
Meet Our Team
Shivani
Hi, I’m Shivani — a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic therapist, Ayurvedic cooking instructor, and now, a devoted pottery artist. Over the past few months, I’ve discovered a deep connection with clay and sculpting. For me, pottery isn’t just an art form — it’s a soulful conversation between my hands and the earth. Somehow, the clay responds to my touch as if it knows the shapes it wants to become. Guiding people through this creative process is something I cherish.
I love watching students discover the calm, joy, and meditative flow that pottery naturally brings. Each session is a journey of shaping not just clay, but also patience, mindfulness, and self-expression.


Kumar Krishna
Krishna Kumar’s journey with clay began in the simplest yet most profound way—through the innocent act of playing with mud as a child. The tactile joy of molding toys from the earth planted a deep-rooted love for the texture of clay within him. This early fascination blossomed into a full-fledged artistic pursuit during his bachelor's studies when he discovered the rich possibilities of ceramics. The technical challenges of the medium, from mastering the kiln to manipulating the clay’s surface, ignited his creative spirit.
Krishna embraced this complexity, diving into processes such as Raku, Obara, Crackle Raku, and smoke firing, each technique offering its own unpredictable beauty. His artistic curiosity led him to experiment with paper clay, blending it with coal to enhance its porosity. This innovative approach not only made the material lighter and less fragile but also introduced a new dimension to his work—one that merges tradition with experimentation. The transformation of such raw materials reflects his continuous search for balance between the naturalproperties of clay and his evolving artistic vision.
