What to know
This profile is a starting point for learning about Jaipur blue pottery through a person who taught and shaped the craft. Look for the difference between the history of the wider pottery tradition and Shekhawat's own contribution. A visit to a working studio can show how forms, pigments and hand-painted motifs are applied, but studio access and demonstrations should be confirmed directly.
Good to Know
