SAGAR BLUE ART POTTERY

Welcome to Sagar Blue Art Pottery — handmade Jaipur blue pottery crafted by hand, carried through generations.

We are a family of potters in Jaipur. Every piece that leaves our workshop is shaped, painted and fired by our own hands — the way this craft was taught to us.

Jaipur Blue Pottery is made from quartz powder rather than clay. It is unforgiving, slow, and entirely dependent on the hand that works it.

The family workshop where Sagar Blue Art Pottery began

Our Journey

It began in arented workshop.

In 1995 our grandfather, Late Shri Ram Behal Prajapat, started this pottery journey from a rented space — specialising in body moulding and structure making, with Late Shri Ramjeet Prajapat contributing design and colouring.

In 2013 the family established SAGAR BLUE ART POTTERY, named after nephew Sagar. To preserve Jaipur Blue Pottery while taking the tradition forward.

The Craft

Quartz, water,cobalt, patience.

  • Material Preparation — blue pottery craft stage
    01

    Material Preparation

    Quartz stone powder, fuller's earth and gum are worked together into the dough-like body that gives Jaipur Blue Pottery its distinctive lightness.

  • Body & Structure — blue pottery craft stage
    02

    Body & Structure

    Structure making was our grandfather's specialisation. The body is raised, wall thickness judged by hand, and the proportion of the piece decided before anything else.

  • Moulding — blue pottery craft stage
    03

    Moulding

    Forms are shaped on the wheel and in moulds, then left to firm slowly so the surface stays true and free of stress.

  • Design — blue pottery craft stage
    04

    Design

    Motifs are drawn freehand — lotus, jaali lattice, birds, miniature panels. No transfers, no prints; the drawing is the craft.

Quality over quantity

We would rather make fewer pieces properly

Handmade work cannot be rushed. Each piece is finished at the pace the material allows, checked by hand, and released only when it is right. Small variations are not faults — they are the evidence of a person at work.

“Innovation does not mean leaving tradition behind. It means taking tradition forward.”

Learning & Training

The craft is also something we teach

Alongside making, our family has expanded into learning and training experiences — showing the full process, from material preparation to the final painted surface, in the workshop where it happens.
