Clearly, I had underestimated the remoteness of Andretta. Much to my disappointment, I was told that they were booked for the next two months. The boarding was a home stay which provided homecooked meals, but they could accommodate only four students that time of the year (I went last September). The course was inclusive of boarding, lodging and instruction. And, it offered culture along the way.Īfter some R&D, I managed to contact Jugal Kishore, the manager of Andretta Pottery.

Like most travel nuts, I'd have liked to read up and familiarise myself with what to expect, but that seemed unlikely in this case. This would be the perfect break I was seeking. There was nothing but basic information available online.
