What started as just a hobby for well known ceramic artist of Potters Place-Ms. Shalan Dere, became a way of life. She believes that just as clay is malleable, it responds to every touch, and you can make wonderful and unexpected shapes with it, so is Life, which gives back as much joy, energy and creativity as you put in! With over 15 years of experience and that too without any formal training, she has created a mark in the ceramic field with her simple yet unpretentious designs. Through exhibitions at her own studio she also promotes work of upcoming & budding artists.
