Shaping stories

  • • Srabani is following in her mother's footsteps
  • • She tells stories of our humanity
  • • Her patterns draw on her Indian roots

Srabani Ghosh lost her mother at the age of eight. She was a ceramicist. When later in her life Srabani looked for a way to channel her creative energy, she chose to follow her mother’s footsteps. She quickly realised the power of ceramics as a medium that was able to combine two dimensional drawing with sculpture. Quitting her previous career in consulting, she ended up graduating in Ceramic Design in 2016 at Central Saint Martins School in London with a first class honours. As an artist with roots in India, the surface patterns of her works carry the unmistakable and extravagant hallmarks of her native country. The stories and forms in her ceramics are strongly influenced by the last 25 years she has spent working and living in Europe.
