A Mobile Pottery Studio

A caravan of hope.

Chakra Kalé: Pottery On Wheels brings creativity, skill and possibility to doorsteps where they have never arrived before.

Run by women we train

We park a fully equipped studio, with pottery wheels, materials, tools and trained facilitators, at the doorsteps of slums, community schools, villages and women's groups. The women who lead the sessions came to us as learners and have now emerged as trainers, completing the full training-to-trainer pathway.

We believe creativity is a right, not a luxury.

  • PresenceThe wheel demands you be fully here. Clay centres only when you do.
  • Anyone can startNo experience needed: just your hands and a lump of clay.
  • Something realYou leave with something you made, shaped by your own patience.
  • A path to incomeA skill, a practice and eventually a livelihood.
