ART ON CERAMIC POTTERY

Ceracotta-The House of Clay was established in 2015 by Shruti Bolar Mascarenhas and has come a long way, going through plenty of ups and downs.

BRIGHT AND LIVELY

These lemon-inspired bowls match Shruti Bolar Mascarenhas' warm personality. She was inspired to become a studio potter because of her love of earthenware.

LIGHT AS A FEATHER

Terracotta will be light in weight when made correctly, says Shruti of these bottles which keep water cool during hot summers.

POTTERY IN THE MAKING

Shruti reveals that it is normal to lose a few pieces in the process of firing. They either break or develop hairline cracks. So in tune is she with her craft, that it is rare for her to suffer much loss at all.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

When your family name is up on azulejos tiles made by Ceracotta, all of a sudden your name seems even more significant.

MURAL ON TILES

A highly complicated task, this mural was part of a project to beautify the High Court of Bombay at Goa, Porvorim, executed superbly by Shruti and her team.
