Studio Mad about Clay

artist work

I am a Language trainer by profession. I have a Masters Degree in German from Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi and have done a diploma in Spanish from Instituto de Espanol in Panama City, Panama. It was in Panama that I first lay my hands on clay, and fell in love with it. 

However, it was only many years later that my desire to work with clay was actually fulfilled, when I met my mentor Madhur Sen, who reawakened my passion to work with clay, and helped bring out my creativity. I now love to speak the language of clay.

I have been working with clay for over 10 years. I like to work on sculptural and functional forms using the hand-building techniques, especially slab work. I am very interested in painting as an art form and try to incorporate that in my ceramic work by using a technique called sgraffito or by painting directly on clay using colourants such as oxides, stains and underglazes.
