A is for Andretta Pottery (HP)

I am so glad I am discovering all the movements in Indian pottery. One such took place in picturesque place of Andretta, nestled in the Kangra valley of Himachal Pradesh. Studio pottery may be very well known today, but 50yrs ago in India, it was unheard of. To make studio art popular, credit goes to Gurcharan Singh. Andretta sounds so Italian. To know all history of the place please read here. His son runs the pottery school now. I will post photos as soon as I find some.
