There's a fair bit in Delhi, actually. I have a friend who did quite a lot of studio pottery, and had friends who did more (but these days she's a physicist instead). http://www.delhibluepotterytrust.com Also, there are some truly innovative, original artists who find it very hard to earn a living. My mother bought a sculpture from a young tribal artist from Chhattisgarh at an exhibition in Delhi some years ago. We like it very much, but it was almost the first sale he'd ever made. -- ams
