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.

Pavas

Hi, I’m Pavas Chand, and I’m part of the Aavya Pottery and Arts Studio team — a place where artists like me can explore and grow in our creativity. I work with pottery, sculpture, clay modelling, wood carving, tattoo art, and illustrations.

My love for clay and pottery began during my college days, and with practice and dedication, it has only grown stronger over the years. Being at Aavya gives me the chance to bring all my creative skills together in one place, and I’m truly thankful to the whole team for making that possible.

Hi, I'm Samridhi, and I've been fascinated by the art of pottery for the past few years. What started as a hobby has grown into a true passion for creating unique, handcrafted clay pieces. I love the process of transforming a simple lump of clay into something beautiful and functional. Each piece I make tells its own story, and I'm so excited to share my work with you all.
