I design and build my own tools right here in Byculla, focusing on the balance, grip, and durability that Indian potters actually need. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Here you can see one of our handcrafted tools in action, being used to refine the shape of a clay Ganesha sculpture. Having the right tool for the job, one that feels comfortable and performs well, is essential for both sculptural and functional pottery.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/42e11f95-0368-4513-940e-68bd573c228b) ## About Handcrafted & Custom Pottery Tools You know how a trimming tool feels slightly off when you buy it off the shelf? That is because it was never designed for your specific grip. I hand-fabricate our 'Ajit Series' tools using seasoned teak and high-carbon steel, balanced specifically for the way you move at the wheel. When you use a tool that is weighted correctly, you spend less time fighting your equipment and more time focusing on your form. ### Why Custom Matters in Pottery Most mass-produced tools are made to satisfy a general market, not a potter's hand. When you are trimming a foot ring or paddle-forming a clay pot, the tool becomes an extension of your finger. If it is too light or the steel is too soft, you lose precision. ### The Ajit Series Approach I created the Ajit Series because I wanted to solve the problems I faced for years. Here is what makes them different: * **Material Science:** We use local, seasoned hardwoods like Teak or Sheesham for handles. These woods naturally resist water and provide a grip that does not slip, even when your hands are covered in slip. * **High-Carbon Steel:** Unlike the aluminum loops that dull after a few pots, our blades are crafted from high-carbon steel. They hold a sharp edge much longer, giving you cleaner cuts on leather-hard clay. * **Balance & Weight:** A tool should feel grounded. We test the weight of each paddle and trimming loop in the studio, ensuring they have the heft required for consistent compression without causing hand fatigue. ### Customization & Feedback Pottery is a dialogue between you and the clay. If you have a specific requirement, such as a custom trimming loop shape or a paddle with a unique profile, I can make it for you. This is a working studio, not a retail outlet. Everything here is built to be used daily, and I am happy to tweak designs based on the feedback of students who work here every day. Whether you are doing intricate hand-building or high-speed wheel throwing, having the right gear changes your process entirely. ## About Studio White & Gray I am Sandeep, and I started this studio because I was tired of struggling with tools that just did not work for our conditions. Everything you see here is something I use daily, refined through years of my own 'riyaaz'. If you are serious about your craft, these tools are built to make your process smoother.
