studio pottery

I am an independent, self-motivated artist with a strong educational background in design.I specialise in Ceramics and Apparel design.

I successfully maintain my own thriving studio/gallery/small business in one of the quaint streets of Bengaluru.

​

I spent four years at the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Hyderabad and graduated with a degree in Fashion and Apparel.

​

During that time I had the opportunity to work with the craftsmen directly as a part of the curriculum I vaguely remember making a pineapple with Terracotta clay as a part of one of my projects in my first year of college.

I got to explore a wide variety of materials during my college days and never had any idea that I would end up pursuing ceramics as a career someday.

2010 was the year I graduated from college and moved to Bangalore.

​

I worked in the corporate sector with companies like Lifestyle and Reliance as a designer for about 8 years.

​

2018, was when I started learning pottery as a hobby and in no time, I saw myself putting up a pop-up shop and selling my products online.

In 2021, i finished a 4 months residency under the guidance of Mr. Sandeep Manchekar to gain proficiency in wheel work in Wighawali, Maharashtra.

​

I would love to hear from you.
