Summer feelings
#potteryretreat #potterystudio #pottery_love

We’ve been a little quiet here — but not in our studio.

Over the past months, something has been slowly taking shape. Hands learning, clay moving, confidence growing.

We are now completing our first train-the-trainer program. What this really means is simple: knowledge is no longer held by one but shared by many. Skills are passed on, confidence is built, and something begins to grow.

Over the past months, something has been slowly taking shape. Hands learning, clay moving, confidence growing.

We are now completing our first train-the-trainer program. What this really means is simple: knowledge is no longer held by one but shared by many. Skills are passed on, confidence is built, and something begins to grow.

Before there were workshops, before there were finished pieces, there was simply a dream; to create beautiful pottery — and at the same time, create opportunities for women to learn, grow, discover their self-esteem, and earn their own income.

sansaar was founded in 2024 with this vision in mind.
What followed were months of applying, waiting, hoping — not knowing if it would be enough. By summer 2025 we were convinced (or at least confident) it was time to begin.
In August, our train-the-trainer program started.
We ordered our first pottery wheels.
And we placed the order that felt the most symbolic of all — our kiln.
And then, in December, it arrived.
I still remember that moment — standing there, seeing it in our space, realizing: this is really happening.
What would I have done without Jaspal, Sunita and Arti — and without the people who believed in this idea before it was visible?

Some moments simply speak for themselves.
An evening shaped by clay, creativity, and lots of laughter.

On a mission to get cups ready to be gifted for Christmas.
Thrown by hand, glazed in my favorite color, meant for everyday use.
Hopefully one week is enough to bring it all together.

Hopefully the tiles you made are as strong as your team spirit — and may the final mosaic turn out as stunning as your new airport.

Diwali — the festival of lights — celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. Across India, homes glow with diyas and candles.
I love this time of year for its spirit of warmth and giving.

sansaar means the cycle of life, the world, or reincarnation, translated from Hindi. In pottery, clay transforms again and again — just like people do when given a chance.
The vision? To create beautiful, handcrafted pieces that carry a story — and to give women the tools to shape not just clay, but their own future.

Some pieces are meant to gift.
Some are meant to keep.
This one went to the mela at AES — and yes, I’m having second thoughts 😅

Dreaming was never something I learned — I was raised to concentrate on the real and necessary. But my time in India opened that door for me. For the first time, I allowed myself to dream.

And my dream is simple: to use pottery to create beauty — and opportunity.

Together, SSMI and sansaar have started workshops where women can learn, create, and earn.

It’s just the beginning, but I'm super excited. Thank you Sunita for all the warmth, the trust, and the opportunity, the Embassy of Switzerland in India for the fund, Luiz for the branding, and Nicolas for always believing in me.

India holds one of the world’s oldest pottery traditions — clay has always carried stories of life, community, and survival.

In my years of volunteering at SSMI, I’ve seen other stories unfold too: women finding strength, building confidence, and creating livelihoods with dignity.

For a long time, I carried a quiet thought with me: what if these two threads could meet — the timeless art of pottery and the resilience of women shaping their own futures?

My journey with pottery hasn’t been a straight line.
Life in Delhi — work deadlines, travels, visitors, the city’s constant buzz — often pushed pottery into the background. Every time, it took effort to return. But that first spark never faded. It always pulled me back.

I learned in different studios, each giving me something valuable and unique:

- endless hours of kneading clay taught me patience,
- navigating language barriers reminded me that even with an open mind, I still deeply depend on words and my own culture,
- finishing my pieces, even when they were imperfect, gave me the courage to learn from mistakes.

Slowly, in those in-between moments, I began shaping not just clay, but a dream. Today, I have a small, fully equipped studio at home — a place that reminds me what persistence and the support of many people can build.

When I moved to Delhi in 2020, life was full of new beginnings — a new country, new routines, a new job, and the new world with the uncertainty of the pandemic. A getaway we had planned long before finally took place: in Goa, we stayed at a boutique hotel where I couldn’t stop admiring the handmade pottery in our bungalow. On our last day, I even asked for the potter’s name. That’s how we found Thomas The Potter — and I carried his pieces back to Delhi, where I still treasure them today.

When I first stepped into the Swami Sivananda Memorial Institute (SSMI), I was deeply moved by how Sunita and her team empower women through skills training and income generation.

Over the past four years of volunteering here, I’ve become even more convinced that SSMI truly changes lives – helping women transform their futures with dignity and confidence.

If you’d like to join me in volunteering at this extraordinary place or support SSMI financially, let me know — I’d be happy to share more.
