Rajasthan Potters at ArtPlay


  
 In Partnership with ArtPlay, South Kids have been invited to be part of the Rajasthan potters residency from 11 - 25 February. South Kids will be the first to begin working with the pot
ters with workshops on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th February. The potters, Giri Raj Prasad and Manori Lal, will demonstrate traditional Rajasthani pottery techniques and will go on to build a small homemade kiln with which to fire the pots made by the children during the workshops.

The pots will be thrown on traditional wheels and the children will be shown some examples of traditional Indian designs and motifs which the children may like to use.

There will also be an opportunity for the south kids to view a short video set in their New Delhi studio which will demonstrate traditional processing including throwing, loading, firing, and unpacking the kiln.
