Haritha

Haritha is an Architect by profession, a natural builder and an artist by passion.
She's always been a hands-on person and her connection with earth materials in the last few years has been through mud buildings and structures made with care towards the earth and local communities.

Her fascination with clay and the shapes it moulded into inspired her to try a hand in pottery in her own way.
She desired to explore the art of ceramics for the longest time and chanced upon Claystation two years ago and it has been an extremely fun and fulfilling journey ever since.

Through her work, she likes to use clay as an expression of self, and help people connect with earth and themselves through the material.
