In an age of digital overwhelm and curated perfection, this hand-built potter session offers something refreshingly analogue. Here, there are no wheels, no rules—just raw clay, simple tools, and the quiet thrill of making something with your hands. Equal parts meditative and mischievous, this workshop invites beginners and seasoned makers alike to slow down, shape freely, and rediscover the joy of creative play. All materials are provided, and no experience is necessary. Come alone or with a friend and leave with clay under your nails and a piece that is wholly, imperfectly yours.

Venue: Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj
There’s something about painting that quiets the noise. Now add a few puppies underfoot, a blank canvas (or sneaker, or tote), and no rules about how it should turn out. Paint what you want. Wear something you can stain. Let the brush do its thing while a sleepy golden retriever curls up by your foot. You could stay for an hour, or you could lose track of time. There’s no rush. Just colour, company, and the kind of joyful mess that stays with you, long after the paint has dried.
Date: 6th July
Venue: Beeyoung Brewgarden, Panchsheel Park
Chef Sharmilah doesn’t just cook—she carries stories. As a fourth-generation Malaysian chef, her six-course menu is less about spectacle, more about memory. Recipes passed down and flavours rooted in a culture where food is language. This is your invitation to taste it: Pie Tee Trio, Nasi Lemak, sambals made the way her grandmother did. Ingredients arrive straight from Malaysia; everything else comes from her hands. It all unfolds in the moody glow of Sidecar, accompanied by cocktails that match.

Venue: Sidecar, GK-2

No pre-recorded tracks. Just sound unfolding in real time, shaped by the moment. Created by pause. dxa (Sahitya and Harsh), this is music you feel more than hear.

The Joy of Clay by Sona Pottery
There’s something grounding about working with your hands, especially when there’s no pressure to get it “right.” At Sona Pottery’s beginner-friendly workshop, you’re invited to slow down and settle into a different kind of rhythm. Held in one of Delhi’s most spacious, light-filled pottery studios, this guided session gently walks you through the basics of hand-building with clay.

Venue: Sona Pottery, Gurugram
