IICD has helped me sensitize myself to the indigenous craft culture of our beautiful country, India. I developed a new perspective towards understanding design through hands-on skill and cultural influence. Being an alumnus of the fired material department of IICD and now a ceramic designer, I literally share a deep connect with the soil of the land. Through “MatiBani”, my own brand of handmade pottery, I continue my association with clay, and try my best to sensitize the society about our rich craft heritage and the importance of connecting to our roots.
