[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/artbyshrutij/art-led-wellness-retreats/gallery) I believe art is about stillness meeting flow. My ceramic journey is a testament to that, a practice of patience, imperfection, and finding joy in the mess. ## Photos and videos - ![From spinning clay to shaping stories.

My blue and white ceramic pieces are intentionally imperfect. The dripping glaze you see is not a mistake, it is a practice in embracing the unpredictable nature of the kiln. Each bowl is a small, quiet study in patience that reminds me to breathe and just be. For years, my artistic focus was on textured painting and layered paper. Transitioning to pottery felt like a natural shift toward something more grounded. There is an undeniable intimacy in touching wet clay that shifts and changes under your hands. ### Why I Choose Ceramics I treat my pottery sessions as a meditative ritual. When I am at the wheel, I cannot force the shape. I have to listen to the clay. If I push too hard, it collapses. This dynamic has become a vital part of my practice, teaching me that control is often an illusion. ### The Blue and White Series The color palette here is deeply personal. I love the contrast of deep blue against the raw white clay. The glazing process is where I find the most freedom. Instead of painting a fixed design, I allow the glaze to drip and settle naturally. It results in patterns that mimic water or shifting clouds. No two pieces are ever identical, and that is exactly the point. ### What You Will Find My collection includes hand-thrown bowls, cups, and sculptural vessels. These are not factory-made items. They hold the marks of my fingers and the rhythm of the wheel. Whether you are looking for a unique piece for your home or simply want to understand the process behind my work, I welcome you to reach out. We can talk about custom commissions or simply the joy of creating something with your own hands. ## About Shruti Jhaveri I am Shruti Jhaveri, an artist who finds freedom in textures and stories. Whether I am painting on canvas or shaping clay on the wheel, I am just trying to capture that feeling of being fully present. Let's create something meaningful together.
