Mumbaikars looking for a unique and offbeat weekend date idea are turning to pottery classes, offering couples a chance to bond in a creative and mindful setting. Pottery is quickly becoming a favorite activity as it provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, encouraging couples to disconnect from their phones and focus on the experience together.
Jigisha Patel, founder of a pottery studio in Andheri, shares how pottery first became a part of her life, thanks to her then-boyfriend, now husband. She emphasizes the power of pottery to create meaningful, distraction-free moments: “There’s so much that pottery can teach us. It leaves little room for phone use, allowing for a more intimate experience.” Similarly, Madhura Wadekar, founder of a studio in Powai, notes that couples enjoy the hands-on nature of pottery, allowing them to bond creatively while communicating and making something special.
The appeal of pottery for couples lies in its accessibility—no prior experience is needed. It’s a forgiving craft that encourages experimentation, making it a relaxing and fun activity that couples can enjoy together. Aparnaa Garoddia, owner of a Ghatkopar studio, explains that pottery offers a blend of art, relaxation, and connection that city life often lacks. Many couples return for regular sessions, finding it grounding and a perfect fit for their busy lives.
Some studios, such as Kosha Shah’s in Khar, add a romantic touch to the experience with curated sessions featuring cheese platters, wine, fairy lights, and fresh flowers, creating a cozy atmosphere for couples to enjoy. These two-hour sessions allow couples to create something meaningful together, with their pieces sent to them after glaze firing.
Pottery Date Options:
- Clay Dates for Couples: A two-hour session where couples try hand-building and learn basic clay techniques, creating a piece to take home after glaze firing.
- Pottery Wheel Experience: A more technical session where couples learn the basics of shaping pottery on the wheel.
- Hand Building and Sgraffito Workshops: Longer sessions where couples explore advanced techniques like sgraffito, which involves decorating pottery by scratching designs onto clay.
Pottery classes offer a unique and intimate way for couples to connect, create, and relax in a busy world.
