About Us – kilngodceramics

“It is not easy finding your true passion or meaning of your life. Neither is it exceedingly difficult!”

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Shailja grew up in India, surrounded by a lot of handmade pottery - Surahi’s, Matki’s, Martabans.
These organic shapes transcend and influence her work as shapes, forms, and textures.
The matt surfaces and neutral subtle palette transports her to the forgotten land where
weathering of buildings and objects were always evident and accepted.

MINIMAL, CLASSIC & MODERN

She develops her own practice in London throwing on the wheel, where she finds
the magic of clay inspires her to accept the imperfections in nature and embrace
irregularities as a way of life. Her work is contemporary with an ancient feel.
It is minimalistic, classic and modern, when placed in the right environment it adds
harmony to the space. Her dialogue with clay and the rhythm of throwing on the
wheel makes her feel centred and whole.
