My Story
Hey, I’m Rashi. Clay’s been my thing since 2004 – it’s like a never-ending adventure. Learned loads from my mentors, Ray, Deborath, Hanumantapa, and my spiritual guru Satpurananda – gratitude always, especially on GuruPurnima. My family’s got their hands in clay too, and that makes me smile. Teaching at IDC, IIT Mumbai and V.E.S. has been wild. For me, it’s all about making, teaching, and growing with my clay community. Sab kuch connected hai (everything’s connected).
