Bridges catalogue

The jars being shown at the show, Bridges, were inspired by the metal water container found in a conventional Indian kitchen. The water from these metal jars, as we know, is used for drinking and cooking. Be it the clinking sound when you place a lid on it or the sound of my grandmother’s bangles against the brass/copper as she drew water from it, it all brings back fond memories of a childhood summer.

I am a potter at my discovering best, exploring form and medium. I was born and brought up in Hyderabad. Dabbled a bit in interior designing before graduating in Computer Science and Engineering. Went to Auroville to work with an architect until I came across Golden Bridge Pottery. After two years of clay work at GBP I returned to Hyderabad. I am currently working on putting together a studio to start working with clay full-time. I teach pottery two days a week at a school in Hyderabad.
