"Pottery is the measure of a country's civilisation" — Sardar Gurcharan Singh, founder, Delhi Blue
The true image of a society is depicted through its culture — people, values, lifestyle, art and architecture. Andretta, a small town nestled in the pristine Kangra Valley, is not just home to slipware pottery in India, but also a cultural ensemble in itself along with Palampur — the Tea Capital of North India.
I attempted to capture the cultural essence of the place, with special focus on Andretta slipware pottery through a photo-biography as a part of my design project in the spring of 2017. The photographs were then compiled into a square-format book, the digital version of which is available, along with the entire journey undertaken for the project here.
