Hi!

I'm Charu, the potter behind Crafts by Charu - based in Ahmedabad. What started as curiosity soon turned into a full-blown love for clay. Each piece I create is a mix of patience, practice, and the joy of shaping something with my own hands.

My Story

I'm an ex-IT professional who discovered pottery while searching for a creative path I could build into a meaningful business. I enrolled in a pottery course to explore the craft and understand whether it was something I could truly dedicate myself to. Along the way, I fell in love with the process of working with clay and knew this was the path I wanted to pursue.


Today, I create from my home pottery studio in Ahmedabad, where every piece is thoughtfully handmade in small batches. My work is deeply inspired by nature-especially the mountains, forests, wildflowers, and quiet landscapes that have stayed with me through my travels. These memories find their way into my ceramics through soft earthy tones, hand-carved details, and organic forms.


Each mug, bowl, vase, and piece of tableware is shaped slowly by hand using stoneware clay, embracing the beauty of natural imperfections. I believe handmade pottery brings warmth, intention, and a sense of connection to everyday rituals.


Thank you for being here and for supporting handmade. I hope my work finds a place in your home and becomes part of your everyday moments for years to come.

Why I Make My Own Clay

Each piece begins long before it reaches the wheel.

​

I formulate my own terracotta-based clay body, carefully blending raw materials to achieve a distinctive speckled surface after firing. This intentional process allows me to control not just the form, but the very character of the material itself making every piece quietly unique.
