My ceramic journey started at Golden Bridge Pottery in 1999. My time there was an intense period of learning, under the tutorship of Ray Meeker from who I learned the skill of throwing strong forms and the magical transformation of clay and other minerals, once they are fired, into beautiful colored utensils and decorative pieces. From Deborah I absorbed a bit of her skill with the brush and mostly her meticulous running of a pottery. I nowwork betweenmy home studio in Goa and Off The Grid in Karnataka where I have just built a pottery. I love making functional tableware and also small sculptural pieces of animals, fish and birds. I fire themwith wood or gas depending on the season. I seldom exhibit my work and am happy to have this opportunity to exhibit along with some of my favourite potters.
