Kerala girl creates jobs with pot-making studio
A girl in Kerala's Kottayam has become a source of inspiration for all the students in the state who have been looking for employment opportunities outside the country.
Anjana Rachel Jacob in Kanjikuzhi established her ceramic potmaking unit in the district soon after her graduation. Here she creates pots, mugs, plates and many other things after several rounds of baking, thus making them ready to use.
"After my graduation, I was in search of something creative or new and I came to know about pottery from my brother-in-law. After which I took classes and enrolled into a course. After this, I practised for two years and currently, I am running a studio here in Kottayam for the past six months. It is therapeutic, I teach children as well as adults," Anjali said on her ceramic art studio garnering attention.
Anjali often goes to the shops to sell her ceramic products in her free time. Since the Christmas season is coming, she has now made items for its celebration like faces of Santa Claus, Merry Christmas boards as well as other decorative items.
