FOUNDER'S
DESK

Through the journey of learning an art, the first lesson to be learnt has to be ‘Patience’. If not, what you learn will not be art

Let’s hear what she has to say?

Ritu, says that patience plays a big role in learning the art of pottery making, but after years of experience you may still remain curious to learn more everday. The charm of this art is such that it gives you immense peace and yet never lets your mind rest. The more you work with clay, more you want to do it again and again. Watching pottery being made is such an addiction and believe me making it on your own is as much of an addiciton as watching it being made. I personally feel that a day not spent with clay is a day wasted.

Ritu- The Founder & Potter at Mud Effects Pottery Studio is the force that keeps the creativity, liveliness and the bliss alive at the Studio. Her attachment to art of all forms makes her a versatile potter. Pottery, sculpting & fine art being on top, she loves painting, playing classical violin, singing, sketching and traveling. She says that all forms of art are different but they are knit together in one string and each of these forms is meditative & peace giving in its own way. 

Her students & fellow potters say that she is a person with extreme level of patience and that’s what makes her a perfect artist and a teacher too. However she believes that this is her natural way of working and she never realized it until many told this to her. 

She believes that Pottery is the oldest forms of art and it has a close relation to the evolution of humanking and various civilizations. Working with Pottery today makes her feel connected to them & reinstates the fact that inspite of the world changing raidly around us, we are simple human beings who still find happiness in smaller but creative things.

To cut it short, I invite all the aspiring potters to personally visit the studio and experience what I just said above. You can also enjoy the serenity & peace while you unleash the world of creativity though pottery & clay art.

If you want to make a splash, you will have to take a plunge. Looking forward to meeting you at the Studio!

Cheers!
Ritu
