Not conventional idol-makers, but in love with the art

While Bengaluru boasts of a rich tradition of artisans carrying forward their ancestral artistic heritage, it also has individuals from diverse backgrounds who passionately pursue these crafts. Pottery Town in Bengaluru also has artisans like Sandeep S. and Arun Kumar, who are not from the Kumbara community of traditional potters but have honed their skill in pottery.  

Mr. Sandeep was a passionate artist since childhood and wanted to pursue his career in it. During his undergraduate course at Ken School of Art, he discovered his love for clay work, pottery, and sculpting. Mr. Sandeep went on to do his Masters in Bengaluru University. He is now a practicing artiste and teaches the art form at various schools and colleges.
