Pot and diya painting
Pot painting is a vibrant art form that combines creativity with storytelling. In workshops, participants select pots as their canvases, choosing shapes that inspire their story or theme. Painting techniques range from traditional hand-painting with brushes and natural pigments to modern methods like stenciling and stamping. Each painted pot tells a unique story through colors, motifs, and patterns—reflecting cultural heritage, personal emotions, or mythical tales. This artistic process nurtures expression and connects makers with ancient traditions. Through pot painting, individuals craft not just decorative pieces but meaningful narratives that bring their pottery to life.

Painting pottery
Pottery painting techniques offer a variety of creative methods to decorate and personalize clay pieces. Common techniques include sponge painting, which adds texture and depth through layering; sgraffito, where the surface is scratched to reveal contrasting colors beneath; and stenciling for precise patterns and shapes. Brushwork methods like blending and stippling allow artists to build rich, detailed designs. Applying multiple thin coats ensures vibrant, even color. These techniques can be mixed and matched to create unique effects, transforming plain pottery into eye-catching artworks that tell a story through color and texture. Proper preparation and careful layering are key to achieving professional, lasting results.
Story telling
Pot painting is an expressive art form combining creativity and technique. It begins with selecting the perfect pottery piece—whether a diya, pot, or idol—to serve as the canvas for your story. Various painting techniques like glaze painting, underglaze, sgraffito (scratching designs), stenciling, and sponging allow artists to create vibrant patterns, textures, and effects. Each stroke and color choice helps convey personal stories, cultural themes, or symbolic meanings. Pot painting not only transforms plain pottery into stunning artworks but also preserves tradition while encouraging individual expression, making it a meaningful and enjoyable creative experience.
