Clay, kiln, household
Every piece still has a maker.
House of Dhrti is a bridge between artisan communities in Eastern India and people who want objects that carry a hand. Terracotta beads are pierced while the clay is soft, fired in wood or coal kilns, then painted in the same house. Dokra still breaks its mould. Madurkathi still follows the monsoon.
The name Dhrti comes from steadfastness and patience. That is how the work is done, and how we pay for it: by time and skill, not by the cheapest market rate.
