Rekha Ajay Dhandre is a ceramic artist known for her handcrafted pit-fired pottery, inspired by ancient firing techniques and the natural beauty of fire and smoke. She received her pottery training at Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural Industrialization. Her work reflects a deep connection to traditional pottery methods, where each piece is shaped entirely by hand and fired in an open pit using natural materials such as wood, leaves, and sawdust. These elements create rich earthy tones and intricate surface patterns, making every piece truly one of a kind. Rekha embraces the unpredictability of pit firing, allowing nature to play an essential role in the final outcome. This harmonious collaboration between the artist’s craftsmanship and the forces of fire and smoke gives each creation its own distinctive character and story. Her pottery has been exhibited at several renowned ceramic and craft exhibitions across India, including: TerraFest, Triveni Kala Sangam (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) Hyderabad Potters Market (2023) Studio Art Pottery Exhibition, Apparao Galleries (2024, 2025) Kolkata Craft Market, Birla Academy of Art and Culture (2026) Potters Fest Goa, F. L. Gomes Garden (2026) Each of Rekha’s creations is more than a ceramic object it is a unique journey shaped by hand, fire, and nature. Read More
