Unrelated to pottery but there's a dog back there enjoying the snow

In addition to my pottery, I sell a selection of Handmade Block Print Napkins and table linens. Visit my Etsy Shop to view the full collection. Click on For Sale (above) to learn more.

40 years ago at a small camp in Maine I sat down in front of a large kickwheel and threw my first pot. It was a small bowl which could have served as a paper weight. Instead, I painted it with blue flowers and gave it to my mother. 'It's a sugar bowl', I told her. Luckily I still have the bowl. 
 

Over the years I continued to learn at community art centers and wherever I could find access. When I lived in Brooklyn NY, I shared a basement studio with another potter in an old brownstone. It was damp and creepy and I'm still a bit shook by basements. 

 

What was a hobby became a career.

 

In 2012 I founded Indigo Fire Studio in Belmont, MA. The next 5 years were a whirlwind of teaching and building a business. Those were good, but exhausting times! In 2018 I sold Indigo Fire to the current owner, Ned, where it continues to thrive.

 

Currently, I am the Director of ArtSpace where I work to create more opportunities and access to the arts. On the weekends I get in my own studio at Western Ave. in Lowell, MA. The balance between work and creative time is perfect. I feel extremley fortunate. 

 

My love for ceramics runs deep. I love the nature of clay and how it can be forgiving and repurposed. At my core, I am an optimist.

 

My work is functional and meant to be used daily. You can purchase my work during Western Ave Open Studios.

Some of my pottery and Block Print linens are for available for purchase on my sell Etsy shop Suchi's Table. 

 

These days I live north of Boston with my amazing husband and two dogs, in a small town with cow pasteurs and woods. My two daughters are launching into the world and carving out remarkable lives. Even though I'm a self proclaimed 'city girl' I've come to love the quiet of the country and the personalities of each New England season. We try to get back to India every few years.
