Ela Mukherjee, a self-taught artiste from Delhi with over ten years of experience, works with sculptural forms incorporating media like ceramics, metal and glass. At the camp, she is experimenting with geometric designs, which she hopes will break monotony. She prefers to first make rough drafts and sketches of her art pieces before designing them.

Ulhaskar De, a ceramic artist from Bengaluru, has more than 30 years of experience. Working for a technical institute in Bengaluru, he has been creating functional articles, wall hangings and masks. About the present ceramic art practitioners in India, he says, "Ceramic artists are generally concentrated in Baroda, Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata. But with initiatives like this one by Lalit Kala Academy such esoteric interests and art forms can be promoted." De is currently experimenting with glazing his art forms in terracotta with low temperatures.

Zaida Jacob, an artiste at the camp, has done her BFA and MFA in sculpturing from MS University in Baroda. She prefers to work with the medium of clay, which can be modelled easily. Though she lauded the initiative by Lalit Kala Academy and Art India Foundation, she seemed displeased at the neglect of ceramic art in the city and the unavailability of a kiln at the art studio. But coming to their rescue was local artiste Gauri Gandhi who provided them with the kiln in her own studio.

Most of the artistes novices to ceramic art, after the experience, they said that each one of them learnt to appreciate different forms of art and observed the varied styles of other artists. The ceramic camp also saw Tlang Rokhauma from Mizoram who has had 21 years of painting experiences.

K M Saravanan, a sculptor from Pondicherry who has been a postman for 13 years now, uses all kinds of media for his creations and is very happy that he was offered this opportunity.

Other artistes at the camp were Ravindra Patra, a 25-year-old from Delhi, Gururaj Naik, an artiste from Mysore who works mainly on stone, wood and bronze sculptures, and Nitin Hadap, another artiste from Pune.
