Our Story

The Potters Project was founded in June 2023 by a team of ceramic arts enthusiasts with the mission to preserve and promote India's rich ceramic traditions. After studying pottery across various regions of India, they recognized that many long-standing techniques and designs were at risk of being lost as elder artisans retired.

 

To help revive interest and skills in ceramics, they began working closely with artisan communities around India. They helped establish collectives where master artisans could pass down their distinct regional styles to younger generations, from the intricate blue pottery of the northwest to the naturalistic terracotta reliefs of the east.

As the collectives grew, The Potters Project provided them with resources and global market connections. An online shop was launched to showcase the diversity of Indian ceramics and tell the stories of the talented artisans behind each unique piece.

 

Today, The Potters Project partners with artisan collectives working in different ceramic crafts across India. Through their work, they have helped sustain India's cultural heritage while providing regular income to hundreds of artisan families.

The Potters Project continues to make Indian ceramics available to appreciative audiences worldwide. Their expansive online store allows you to bring a handmade piece of Indian artistry and history into your own home.
