A Potter’s Tale – Ramu Velar (Hardcover)

Description

The first title in our ‘Makers’ series, this book unfolds as a life narrative—as Ramu Velar tells us how he views his craft, vocation and life. Just as his fingers deftly mould a lump of clay to create sturdy pots and beautifully carved bowls, his memory creates sharp as well as dreamy vignettes—of his journey from a village potter to a resident craftsman in a museum. Richly textured photographs and evocative illustrations bring alive the world of an unusual and introspective artisan.
