Bridges catalogue

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.

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.
