Bowls, cups and vessels made by people who'd never touched clay before Foundations — fired here and taken home.

A large sgraffito platter, a fish carved through blue slip to bare clay — 01

Kartika

Sgraffito platter

Blue slip laid over the whole dish, then a fish cut back into it line by line — fins, scales and all — with two little test discs beside it.

Aishwarya sponging the walls of a little slab-built clay house — 02

Aishwarya

Mugs pressed with real wildflowers and painted petal by petal — 05

Pressed-flower mugs

Real wildflowers pressed into soft clay, then painted petal by petal — a set that looks picked from a meadow.

A fluted vase in a running blue and amber glaze, held in one hand — 06

Simran

Fluted vase

Cut and folded into petals while the clay was soft, then glazed in a blue that ran gold where it pooled in the seams.
