Jugs have been a bit of a recurring theme in my studio. Shahnaz has painted many of them with me over the years, so for this exhibition she wanted to take the form somewhere new.

She decided to work in lustres, a technique we’ve been experimenting with for many years, and use apples as the subject.

Lustres are wonderfully unpredictable. What you paint before the firing is only part of the story, the kiln has its say too :)

With a lot of experimenting, this one finally came together.

Meet Shahnaz. 🍎

She’ll be part of Colors on Fire, our exhibition on 31 October & 1 November.

Mumbai Meri Jaan, in porcelain.

For her exhibition piece, Anjali Mirchandani chose something very close to home: Mumbai.

She worked on an unusual four-sided tower vase, using geometric forms to interpret some of the city’s familiar landmarks.

The first one: Prong’s Lighthouse in Colaba.

What I love about this piece is that Anjali has reduced the architecture to lines, shapes and structure and translated it onto porcelain. Here’s a little look at how one side of the piece came together, from the initial drawing to the painted surface.

One city. Four sides. Plenty more to come.

An exhibition is never just about the finished pieces.

Long before anything reaches the exhibition table, there are ideas to work through, designs to rethink, colours to test, pieces to fire, pieces to rework and plenty of time spent simply sitting together and painting.

This exhibition brings together 16 artists, each with their own style, ideas and way of working. What you see here is only a small part of what has been happening in the studio.

The work is still under wraps for now.You’ll have to wait a little longer to see what all those hours of painting have turned into.

I have a weakness for broken porcelain. Not because I enjoy breaking it, but because I hate throwing away something beautiful simply because it broke.

That is what led me to Kintsugi : the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics while leaving the repair visible. Traditionally, the join is made with lacquer and highlighted with gold.

These olive wells belonged to Nayantara Pandit and were chipped while being carried home. I repaired the damaged edges in platinum. Sometimes a little damage calls for a little drama.

Vibha Kanwar ‘s treasured teapot lid broke in 2022. I attempted the repair, and thankfully, the second time was the charm. Some pieces are simply too loved to discard.

Moushumi Ray’s vase had survived everything until it fell off the backseat of a car on its way home and cracked in two. Moushumi was ready to throw it away. I asked her to let me try. The result? A vase held together with golden joins that look like glorious Egyptian ruins. Sone pe suhaaga.

My daughter Sanjana | Public Speaking Coach 🎙️ brought these pieces home and they were chipped

Some have chipped along the way. Naturally, I am attempting to fix her heartbreaks too. :)

I don’t repair these pieces to make them look untouched.I repair them because they still have something worth keeping. And sometimes, the repair gives them a completely new character.

For Janmashtami, a little Krishna through the eyes and brushes of my students. 💙

Over the years, I’ve watched so many different interpretations of Krishna come to life in my studio. The flute, the peacock feather, Radha, the lotus, that unmistakable blue : all@familiar elements, but no two students ever paint them quite the same way.

And that, for me, is the joy of teaching. I may teach the technique, but eventually every student has to find their own hand.

These are a few of their beautiful interpretations over the years.

Happy Janmashtami. 🪈🦚
