Who exactly
THIS STUDIO?
is
running
Her name is
VIVITSA KOHLI
She started an independent ceramic studio right after she graduated as an Industrial Designer specializing in Ceramic Design from NID in the January of 2019.
so, she's a potter?
A comprehensive understanding of ceramic design involves many fields beyond the material understanding of how to produce ware. Beyond a kiln, raw materials and infrastructure , you need a functional understanding of how to source, manage, study and create products. Running a brand and a production studio requires one to be effectively doing all this simultaneously. It is a well known phenomena, the transformation of an artist into a business owner. It's all labelled under the tasks of a potter or a designer, I'd suppose.
who cares about labels, basically.
What's the studio like?
The studio works in small-time production orders and special commissions. It also accepts Interns and Graduation Projects. Students take up long running projects applying the techniques they're introduced to at the workplace. The studio largely focuses on making something new but familiar. It taps into common experiences of the our lives and tries to make this untameable material give way to pop-cultural products.
Okay, and where is this studio?
It's in the Chandigarh tricity.
do they teach?
More accurately - in Panchkula.
Most accurately - Next to DT Mall(IT Park) and right in front of the Mansa Devi Mandir.

They used to. From Residencies to single session classes, a lot happened in the time the studio functioned as a teaching studio. Vivitsa travels back and forth between her life in Israel and India. The studio is mostly only open to use by people who have experience in the material.
If you're looking to be a part of our chaos or simply want to experience it in some manner, we're flexible in designing internship/long project experiences for potters/ceramicists and illustrators.
