About the Artform
In this session, you will learn about, clay art, Clay has been one of the most universal and versatile building materials throughout human history. Baked clay is called terracotta. Building with terracotta is an ancient and traditional art form of the Indian sub-continent. A multi-faceted resource, terracotta has usually been used to build walls and roofs, utensils or small effigies and figurines. In India, we have the famous terracotta temples and mosques of West Bengal that have stood the test of time, replete with delicate clay motifs and figurines. We have South Indian cuisine aficionados that swear by food cooked traditionally in terracotta utensils. Terracotta is known for its easily distinguishable natural hue and texture, apart from it being a durable eco-friendly building material.

During this workshop, you will warm up your creative muscles through a fun challenge posed to you, using materials you find around you (you do not need the Kattoos product for this). This will be followed by a short introduction to our first Kattoos product - miniature terracotta bricks - and a live demo showcasing a few examples of how the bricks can be used. We will round the workshop off with a Q & A.
