| Introduction | Hi, I am a Studio Potter and a Ceramic Artist based at Noida, India. I belong to defence background and started my journey as a studio potter at the age of 50. Today, it’s been over 15 years since I’m practising pottery and enjoying my clay-play. I'm an AIFACS awardee. Nature is my inspiration and last yr I had a show “Ceramic Nature Series”. I create ceramic wonders, just for sheer joy—that sublime happiness --infusing soul, and bringing them to life. I believe that Pottery is not just an art form; it is a therapy, a meditation indeed. While working in the studio I am very close to God. The very elements which constitute life - earth, fire, water, air and space - amalgamate with clay and take any form that one’s creativity dictates. My work adorns many corporate houses and homes in Delhi. I have participated in various exhibitions all over India. Have 4 solo shows to my credit. I also conduct workshops and classes. Passing on the art to my students in my studio is enriching and satisfying. My going commercial is incidental. I believe in living life TODAY and turning simple joys into BIG CELEBRATIONS!!!!!! |

Why is painting valued more than ceramic , when the odds are so high in pottery?
