About us

Pottery is an art that has evolved since time immemorial. The origins of pottery date back to the Neolithic Era. In India, it can be traced back to the Indus Valley civilization. It was developed as a response to the needs of humankind.

Firing up this tradition is Clayfingers Pottery, a passionate and committed team of skilled and innovative artists working together with the aim of reviving a forgotten art form in India. Located in a renovated traditional 1950s brick and tile factory in Thrissur, Kerala, our studio space is where many contemporary potters, artists, technicians, and enthusiasts unite together to create and mould earth back to life.

Pottery, for us, is a very rewarding experience in both a creative and spiritual sense. To take a lump of clay into our hands and give it a form, which in turn gives it life is a great accomplishment. We are determined to push the boundaries of clay as well as people’s perceptions towards this material and surprise you with the quality and style in which earth can be recreated. Our work will always be distinctive, and will form a bridge between the functional and aesthetic, giving life to the phrase ‘useful things should be beautiful, and beautiful things should be used’.
