Biography
Clay, fire and patience.
Ranjith inherited his family’s pottery yard at eighteen. He mixes his own clay, shapes pots by hand and fires them in a traditional kiln. He is known for his burnished vases and festival lamps.
The Craft Story
Open-kiln firing makes every piece different. Smoke and flame leave darker clouds on the surface, a mark of the fire’s path.
