Delhi Blue Pottery Trust organized second edition of its Annual Potter's Bazaar on the lawns of charming Sanskriti Kendra at Anandgram, Delhi in the first week of December. Like the first edition, this year too the haat provided a platform to 40 odd studio potters to showcase their artistic creations to a large number of visitors. The event not only provided a wide spectrum of studio pottery on display and sale but also opportunity for the visitors to learn Raku firing technique. The occasion also marked formal inauguration of the second pottery center of Delhi Blue Trust in Delhi at Sanskriti Kendra. Their home base still runs from Delhi Blue near Safdarjung flyover.
Some of the finest practitioners of studio pottery had assembled here. Racha Prasher, Ranjana Subberwal, Rekha Bajpe Aggarwal, Reyaz Badruddin, Jugal Kishore Sankhyan from Andretta Pottery, Leena Batra, Mona Vohra, Indu Rao, Sonia Dhingra, Shehla Grewal and Rajendra Dangle among others participated in the Bazaar.
The venue itself is worth more than one visit to enjoy its charming and rich presentation of traditional pottery craft from India, gallery of daily household objects and fabrics. Here are some visuals from the Haat.
