Monkey Business

This is a newly ­opened studio that specializes in ceramic and pottery designing. Located in a beautiful old bungalow, it is the brainchild of two NID (National Institute of Design) graduates, Thomas and Pattu, who recently moved to Goa. They create both art ware and utility ware. They also accept commissions from museums, architects and designers. Workshops and residencies to interested artists are also in their plans. Their first Goan collection was inspired by marine creatures. Off ­the ­shelf items are priced between Rs. 250 and Rs. 7,000. The bespoke options are of more interest. Bespoke orders take a minimum of one month to complete and can be shipped to a desired destination.
