About Residency

The Ceramic Center is a not-for-profit ceramic studio established in Baroda in 1998. It was among the first of its kind in India, offering support to artists growing their practice in the field of ceramics. It has since operated under its ethos to provide space, infrastructure and technical expertise to facilitate experimentation and the execution of any creative idea, with focus on creative expression over commercial gain. In this studio, the lives and careers of many artists have intersected, through workshops, residencies and art camps. At the heart of the Center was Jyotsna Bhatt, who always had an integral role in the evolution of the studio and the growth of its community. The Ceramic Center continues to build upon its legacy by supporting upcoming generations of ceramic artists – expanding its diverse community of creative professionals, offering expertise and infrastructure, and creating an environment for ceramists to produce meaningful work that pushes boundaries. The Ceramic Center has collaborated with Golden Bridge Pottery, Hermès, and Gallery Art & Soul, among other institutions.
