Shape Clay. Shape Stillness.

We’re thrilled to invite you to a soulful 3-night, 4-day Pottery Retreat in the serene Himalayas at SEED by Mosaic, Ranikhet — a gentle pause from everyday life to reconnect with your creative self, surrounded by whispering forests, birdsong, and misty mountain mornings.

About the Pottery Sessions

Led by the talented Manisha Sah Thulgharia of Wildfern Pottery Studio, the retreat offers a slow, meditative journey through the timeless art of hand-building with clay. You'll explore:

Pinching – sculpting simple, organic forms with just your fingers
Coiling – building graceful vessels, one thoughtful layer at a time
Slabbing – shaping trays or wall pieces from flattened clay sheets
Clay handling, adding texture, and mindful finishing techniques (note: glazing is not part of the process)

Whether you're a beginner or simply seeking a creative reset, this retreat invites you to breathe deeply, shape slowly, and find inspiration in nature’s quiet rhythm.

Dates: 19–22 June 2025 (Thursday to Sunday)
Location: Seed at Ranikhet, Uttarakhand
Duration: 3 nights, 4 days
In collaboration with Wildfern Pottery Studio
Led by Ceramic Artist Manisha Sah Thulgharia

Stay Options (3 nights, 4 days – All inclusive of sessions, meals & activities): starting from INR 10,500 + taxes per night
