Starting of as a potter she evolved as sculptor in her continuous search for transforming her 'self-realization' into forms and figures using clay. Her works include the fisherwoman traffic island at Panjim and a four-meter high figure of the risen Christ at the Bambolim church, all iconic witnesses of her rich sculpting talent . Verodina believes in blending traditional and modern methods to integrate utility into her designs. "There are lot of interesting techniques used abroad. We are unaware of all these new developments," explains Verodina, who is eager to learn and adapt the newer techniques of production. With twenty-five years of experience in this field, Verodina has crossed a lot of boundaries. She has progressed from simple forms and designs to making expressive terracotta figurines. Why you should look at Clay Play for your children: Working with clay can develop fine motor skills while shaping and creating textures improves a child's creative skills and enhances creative thinking helping them hone their designing skills and turn conceptual ideas into reality. Children are born with the creative instinct, to express what is uniquely theirs.Clay crafting is a great way for them to build and develop motor skills as they learn to handle different tools and crafting techniques.

A Mask as a wall hanging 4.
