We’ve said it before. Just reiterating...

That's right.
We won't 'celebrate' Womens Day.
Certainly not by using it as a ridiculously flimsy excuse to promote & sell our work.
As ex-media professionals, both of us (Bhairavi & Rohit), spent years using all sorts of such days, causes, movements, heck, even 'revolutions' as advertising & selling opportunities for everything from soap & socks to celluloid sagas.
But.
We won't do it at Curators of Clay.
Here's what we will do.
And not just today or tomorrow or day after, but every day.
We will never discriminate.
Not by race.
Not by colour.
And certainly not by gender.
Our studio & our homes will always be safe environments.
For people.
And animals, alike.
We'll always respect everyone's personal choices.
Of whom to love, what to eat, what to wear, which political party to support... We may not always agree with some of these choices (especially if it concerns preferring other ceramics!) but we'll keep the discussion civil & open minded (even with the ceramics, we'll try!). And yeah, we might falter on these decisions, we might err, we will make mistakes too - but, we'll be ready to be corrected, shown a differing point of view, engage in civil but passionate debates & we may even change our minds.
But, we will do so, or atleast try to do all this, with grace & dignity.
And still, no, we won't 'celebrate' Womens (or anyone else's for that matter) Day.
There you go.
That's enough profundity of sorts for the day.
Now work beckons!

Everyone is cordially invited to our studio on this Wednesday, the 12th of February for our first ever Midweek Studio Edit!
A select collection of our beautiful work will be available for purchase.
▫️▫️▫️
No, no 'social media agency' or 'online communication ninja' has taken over our Instagram handle, we just figured that this might be really boring copy but it pretty much covers the message!
So, basically -
Yes, we know it's a working day, yes, we know it's a short notice, yes, we know it's a small selection, yes, we know Bhugaon is not exactly easy to get to, yes, we know it's kinda out of the way, yes, we know this is probably asking too much... But, heck, life isn't fair, it's also kinda short & excuses are aplenty.
Hence - Just come over to the studio this Wednesday, our work will be available for purchase and as always there'll be cake, coffee & conversation for free! ▫️▫️▫️
To quote copy that's advertising history - Just do it.
Oh, also Impossible is Nothing.
Oh, and also for whatever it's worth darr ke aage jeet hai!

We're not big on 'matching' sets at the studio.
Of course, all our commissioned projects of larger volumes can be called sets, in terms of forms, sizes & glazes, but the work we craft over and beyond those collections are, more often than not, ensembles. ▫️▫️▫️
We like mixing things up - often pairing complimentary glazes and textures, teaming up unlikely individual works, even reinterpreting forms for different functions.
And this unorthodox styling results in the most delightful ensembles of select work. Very sui generis!
▫️▫️▫️
Here's one such example that we put together for a client.
The beautiful shading on the teapot is a result of the glaze being licked by flames inside the kiln. The straight little drinkers have been glazed multiple times to get a mottled look that would be rather impossible to repeat. The rounded teabag / sugar bowl & the salver underneath have been fired with a gorgeous 'bronze-black' slip, which was brushed on for nuance and character.
Needless to say each of these was crafted by hand from start to finish.
We love our job.
And we hope that shows! ▪️▪️▪️

A quick post for those of you kind folk who may have just joined us (For those of you who know us, just hit like, leave a happy comment & get back to work okie!) -
We make beautiful, highfired, functional (as yet!) ceramics.
With our bare hands!
As co-founders of the studio, & are full-time potters who are usually so happy with this fact, that they'll do whatever it takes to keep this going. is the one & only employee the studio currently has - and everything at the studio is made by just these three. ▫️▫️▫️
Now that you've read this much, stay a while & scroll through our efforts here! ▪️▪️▪️
