DIY Pottery is a social enterprise structured as a for-profit company.

We have a social remit to expand affordable access to ceramics in Mumbai, and this shapes everything we do.

• Breakages can happen for many reasons—clay compression, air bubbles, glaze thickness, or unavoidable technical issues like kiln faults.
• Even with the best processes, ceramics carries an inherent 25% risk of failure. There’s always something to learn from these moments.
• If negligence damages studio equipment (e.g. leaving air bubbles, causing an explosion, or over-applying glaze), a breakage fee may be charged to cover replacement costs.

Yes, it’s possible to pause your membership depending on your contract.

We’ll be sorry to see you go. You must inform 1 month in advance to terminate the contract.
