## About Festive Collections: Handmade Holiday Joy

I create each candle holder and bauble in small batches, using a technique called sgraffito to carve festive patterns while the clay is leather-hard. This is not just decoration. My Coniferous tree holders are designed to be multifunctional; you can use them as a cozy candle light for your centerpiece, or flip the base to use them as an incense burner for quiet, slow evenings at home.

When I started Maati Sona in 2018, I wanted to move away from mass-produced holiday decor. The festive season is about slowing down, and I believe your home decor should reflect that. My festive collection focuses on small-batch pieces that you can keep and reuse for years, rather than plastic items that clutter up storage.

### My Festive Techniques
- **Sgraffito Carving:** For my holiday baubles and ornaments, I use a sgraffito technique. I paint a layer of coloured slip over the clay and then carve back into it to reveal the natural clay body beneath. This gives a distinct, rustic texture that mass-produced paints simply cannot match.
- **Functional Decor:** My Christmas tree luminaries are intentionally designed to serve two purposes. They are wheel-thrown in sections, perforated by hand to let light escape, and finished with deep, glossy glazes. You can light them up on your dining table during a festive dinner, or use them as incense burners when you want to unwind.

### Care and Quality
Everything is made with high-fired stoneware. This means these pieces are durable and resistant to chips. Whether you are buying a set of ornaments for your tree or a statement luminary, you are getting something that feels heavy, solid, and authentically handmade in my Bengaluru studio.

I do not aim for factory-perfect symmetry. If you look closely at my tree luminaries or hand-painted baubles, you will see slight variations in the holes, the glaze drips, and the brushstrokes. That is the soul of pottery. These pieces are meant to be handled, loved, and passed down as part of your family’s festive traditions.

## About Maati Sona

I'm Arunima, and I believe pottery is the best way to pause during the holiday rush. I create these festive pieces in my HSR Layout studio to bring a bit of 'slow living' into your home, away from the noise of store-bought decorations.
