People and Place
The skilled artisans of Kundapura have their own identity for their skill and creativity. Artisans have undergone training provided by an NGO called ‘Namma Bhoomi’ in order to come up with new creative ideas and implement them. In earlier days, the artisans were using the traditional potter’s wheel to make pots and other utensils. But the present generation of artisans started using electric potter’s wheels to increase productivity. Earlier the terracotta craft has only a limited range of products like pots, bowls and water containers. Now- a-Days, the choice of clay products is increased after introducing terracotta jewellery, lampshades, wall hangings and garden decorators. Below is the comparison between the involvement of artisans in craft and growth in craft with respect to earlier times.
