Botanical pottery · Kolkata
Vessels that carry the garden indoors.
Atelier Fern shapes small-batch stoneware and porcelain — glazed in the greens of ferns, moss and fiddleheads, and thrown one evening at a time.
Studio hours · Wed–Sun, 11:00–19:00 · 14 Ballygunge Place
The craft
Slow work, in full sun by the window
Local clay
Sourced from Rajkot producers and Bengal river clay, wedged and rested before any wheel work.
Glazes grown from plants
Every glaze name is a plant — celadon fiddlehead, moss matte, crackle nightbloom — mixed in studio batches.
Fired twice
Bisque at 950°C, glaze firings to 1,230°C in a single small kiln — twelve tall pieces, three quiet days.
Current collection
Monsoon greens
A July release of fourteen pieces. Each is thrown and glazed by hand; slight variation is the signature, not a defect.

Write to the studioQuestions
Before you write
Do pieces go online?
No. The collection is sold from the studio and through the Friday letter; commissioned pieces are discussed in person or over email.
How do commissions begin?
With a note describing the piece and the room it's for. The studio replies with sketches, glaze options and a timeline, usually within a week.
Do you ship?
Domestic shipping is couriered in padded clay crates; international shipping is possible for non-glazed cookware only.
Is there a mailing list?
Yes — the Friday letter lists new pieces and workshop dates first. Names are never shared; unsubscribe is one tap.
