Ruchi Gupta

Richmond, VA

Ruchi Gupta gives us beautiful platters, bowls and vessels with designs inspired by the ancient mystics. Each unique piece is slip cast in low-fired clay and hand painted.

Gupta grew up on a math-science track of study in India and worked in technology for ten years before recognizing that she had to relent to an inner voice that needed expression through creating and making. Ruthi's designs are the borrowings from her upbringing in India. Today she has a ceramic studio in her home, where she is trying to find her way through clay.

"After wandering around the grey corridors for a decade, a little bird inside me led me back to my childhood dream. I got introduced to this amazing world of creating and making where you can give shape to your ideas. I call it Birds at Noon."
