Wabi-Sabi: Clay, Imperfection & The Beauty Of Becoming

Across nomadic cultures, clay and ceramics have long been shaped by hand as vessels for daily life; practical, imperfect and deeply connected to place.

This hands-on clay workshop by Delhi-based ceramic studio Milimeter invites participants to explore the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi; embracing imperfection, impermanence and natural beauty. Beginning with a gentle introduction to the practice, guests are guided to set intentions before working with air-dry clay to create small vessels, bowls or plates using intuitive hand-building techniques.

Through asymmetry, texture and organic form, the process encourages letting go of perfection and honouring the marks of making. The session closes with quiet reflection, care guidance and shared presence. This is a slow, tactile practice; grounding, meditative and rooted in acceptance
