Project Description
The traditional potters in Aajgaon are hesitant to teach pottery to their kids. Their knowledge of pottery is limited to making earthern pots, diyas, etc. which has very limited buyers. Nowadays entire potter families, including their kids, go to brick factories to make bricks.
LSS started a pilot workshop along with Mr. Aajgaonkar, a well-know ceramic artist, and his student in Nov 1997 for a week. The workshop was a success and reconfirmed an earlier observation that ceramic art would be the most feasible vocation-training course in that area. This center has been started then in Jan 1, 1999 with minimum infrastructure. Princeton chapter is supporting this training center now.
