Tanzy’s Blue Pottery by Tanya Bhasin
Tanzy's Blue is dedicated to preserving the traditional art of Jaipur’s iconic Blue Pottery, bringing this eco-friendly, handcrafted art form to life with care and authenticity. Tanya shares her journey in establishing her brand, which she runs with her mother, "While pursuing my Master's at Jamia Millia Islamia University, I was assigned a research paper on the dying art forms of my city. That’s when I discovered Blue Pottery, a renowned craft from Jaipur. As I began visiting the factories, I realised that generations of artisans had been struggling due to a lack of market demand."
She notes, "My passion for this craft grew, and I made it my mission to provide employment opportunities for women artisans. My sole aim is to revive this craft and bring it back into the public eye." Support Tanya in her mission by exploring her brand on the page below. Currently, Tanzy's Blue only accepts offline orders and Delhi-based customers can contact her via DM.
A Clay Story by Anumita
Clay Story’s decor pieces and food props blend function and style, embodying a celebration of understated elegance. Anumita, the creative force behind these pieces, describes her process as a “dialogue with clay,” explaining, "It’s a constant ‘let’s tweak this’ while creating something. I use various techniques depending on the outcome I’m aiming for, but the one I use most frequently is wheel-throwing plus distorting."
Her thoughtful approach extends to the experience she hopes her customers feel when they purchase her art. Sharing her top picks for Diwali gifting, Anumita said, "Candle gift boxes, seedpods, and bud vases make the best gifts as they’re versatile and can blend in with most decorations." She adds, "Whenever someone receives a Clay Story package, I want them to feel as if they’ve received a gift. I want them to experience joy every time they use one of my products.” Shop directly on their website, with delivery available across India. Orders typically ship within 7-10 days.
