About our Artist: 'My name is Ritu Thapar. As an Air Force family, we moved throughout India. I enjoyed the opportunity to travel and be exposed to many of the different cultures and traditions of my country as I grew up. I graduated from Jesus and Mary College in Delhi. After my daughter was born I worked for a time, but soon gave it up to take care her. One day strolling through the Delhi Haat crafts bazaar I fell in love with the terracotta jewelry I saw. Encouraged by my husband, I trained to learn how to make it myself. I have been designing jewelry since 2011. I've been able to train young enthusiasts and even employ them. I have taught a few women from rural backgrounds to make simpler beads while the more creative work is done by the artists in my workshop.I get inspiration from nature, from my daughter and from things around me. I create most of the designs. For now, I hire a kiln to fire my jewelry but I hope very soon to have my own.'...
