2-Day Pottery & Terrarium Program in Fort Kochi for Creative Calm

Duration: 2 Days · 6 Sessions
Location: Kochi, Kerala, India
Program Type: Day Program
Format: English, Malayalam
Program Overview

Two creative days of ceramics, terracotta and terrarium making for a quieter, more focused break.

This two-day creative program offers more time to settle into hands-on making, moving from ceramic pottery to terracotta and living plants.

Day 1 begins with ceramic clay. You learn how to prepare and shape it through beginner-friendly hand-building, then explore the pottery wheel with guidance. The day finishes by refining your chosen piece with texture or simple surface decoration.

Day 2 turns towards terracotta and greenery. You shape a small terracotta piece before building a living terrarium using drainage materials, soil, plants and decorative elements.

Across both days, the pace stays unhurried. Rather than focusing on perfect finished objects, the experience invites you to become absorbed in the making process, learn real techniques and spend a few hours away from everyday distractions.

You leave with a living terrarium, handmade clay work and a better understanding of the creative processes you have explored.
