The Design Development Centre at @RSKIIT is hosting a 6-day Pottery Workshop (9–15 June 2025), led by renowned ceramic artist Prof. Mangesh Afre from @iicd_jaipur. Embracing the philosophy of “One Artisan, One Product,” the workshop empowers traditional potters from Kanpur’s rural areas to create high-value, sustainable clay products through modern design techniques.
With support from
@iitkanpur, artisans are learning to transform age-old skills into contemporary products aligned with urban market trends. “When PM Modi received our handcrafted items, it lifted our spirits,” shared Prof. Afre. The initiative, coordinated by Dr Monika Thakur and Ms Shailly Sangal, is reviving the fading art of pottery and guiding artisans toward sustainable, market-ready craftsmanship.
