I am also providing marketing,design,capacity building to craft based NGos.In the last one year i have documented fairs, festivals traveling across Rural Urban India as part of my own research and craft documentation to enhance my artistic abilities. To know more about me you may read below. I am Neha - an artist, a potter and an ardent lover of crafts. My foray into arts and crafts began from my teens; I used to enjoy dabbling with paint and colour. It led me to join Fine Arts at Sir J.J School of Arts , Mumbai and then there was no turning back. I was mesmerized by the delights of pottery; and my next destination, naturally, was Golden Bridge Pottery, Pondicherry, where I studied Studio Pottery. This course intensified my love for the subject and honed my skills as well. My journey continued, working extensively with artisans in Kutch, Gujarat and Maharashtra. My own contributions and learning's from others helped me gain a world of experience and sharpen multiple skills essential for the crafts sector. Now based in Mumbai, I continue with my passion for expressing my creativity through arts and crafts.... through 'Matsya'.

Project ManagerBehavioural Science Centre , Ahmedabad Apr 2001 - Jul 2004Worked as Project Manager (Embroidery Project) with Behavioural Science Centre (BSC), a reputed NGO based in Ahmedabad working on human rights and development programmes in various districts of Gujarat with the marginalized communities, especially the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and the minorities The mandate in this project was particularly challenging and complex considering the fact that embroidery had to be developed as a livelihood option among groups of women who are dependant on agricultural labour and seasonal saltpan work as their primary source of income. Furthermore, these women had never been exposed to commercial production and its logistical compulsions. The project had to be sensitive to the extremely high workload of women and hence had to ensure that it did not enhance the burden of work on them. The activity had to be therefore designed for sustainability even with a part-time / leisure time production cycle.
