Studio Penli is a community-centered ceramics studio in Kohima, Nagaland, that celebrates the joy of handmade craft through workshops and courses. Unlike the minimal aesthetic common to many ceramic studios, Studio Penli embraces warmth, nostalgia, whimsy and play. Its visual world draws from Americana cues—picnics in the park, ribbon motifs, and handwritten notes, where reds, creams, and pastels meet vintage typography and storybook charm.

This distinctive, joy-filled aesthetic mirrors the personality of its founder, Penli, that shapes the brand’s identity. On social media, Studio Penli feels like stepping into a dreamy picnic scene—filled both character and care. Every post and workshop reflects a desire to create with intention and delight, inviting people to slow down, connect, and rediscover the magic of making by hand.
