Named 'blue pottery' due to the original Persian blue dye that was used to colour the clay, the art of blue pottery came to India via Persia. In 1866, Sawai Ram Singh II (1835-1880) set up a School of Art to attract craftspeople and artists from across the country. It was at this Art School that the technique of producing the trademark blue pottery of Jaipur reached perfection.

Artist and urban chronicler Pratap Morey asks you to reimagine landscapes in art today in a new workshop inspired by our latest exhibition, New Found Lands. The workshop will include a presentation of Pratap's work and practice. Participants will then work with the artist to conceptualise, make and share their own unique landscape paintings.
