About the Master Artisan:
Poornima
I learned the art of pottery and clay molding as a child. It remained just a hobby till I took a sabbatical from work. Realising my passion for the same, I got a certification from RDDTC and established Terrabarn that caters to the terracotta jewellery market. I soon engaged more women, training and employing them.
Swathi, one of the women artisans at Terrabarn, joined 5 years ago. 18yrs of age and a school dropout, Swathi’s parents intented on marrying her off at the time. She joined me as I needed more hands in the business and I hoped to keep her engaged in some way. She was a quick leaner and seemed to enjoy the process.Today, she has emerged as an excellent artisan and efficient manager, says Poornima" I am soon to be married , but this time it is my choice. My parents are no more worried about me instead are proud. I have realised the importance of financial independence, many girls like me do not get that chance. Now i have started saving towards my future family. I want my children to have good education and learn to be independent " - Swathi
