I remember falling in love with clay at my very first sculpture lesson at school. It almost felt like I was drawing in air. My fascination for the medium led me to doing a degree in fine art, specialising in Sculpture. I also learnt pottery for many years under a renowned potter in India. After a long break due to relocating to the UK, I now continue to practise, learn and refine my art at a studio in Surrey.
I gained a fine art degree at the College of Art in Delhi, India with a specialisation in sculpture. After relocating to London in the early 2000s I concentrated on expanding my knowledge in pottery by attending various courses from well known potters. I have set up an independent studio since 2014, and have exhibited at various craft fairs since then.
My work is functional and decorative, wheel thrown in earthenware clays. The dark iron rich clay captivated me towards earthenware. I was drawn to it for its liveliness and contrast of colours! My making tends to be more precise with clean lines, whilst the decorations using slip is usually loser and more spontaneous. I specially enjoy slip trailing and sgraffito – something I constantly try to get better at!
