JAMMU: In a quest to breathe new life into the ancient art of pottery in the picturesque region of Kashmir, an exclusive online interview with Saima Shafi, known as "Kralkoor," unveils the remarkable story of a woman who has transformed herself from a Professional Engineer to a passionate Potter. Born and raised in the Safa Kadal area of Srinagar's old city, Saima Shafi is the driving force behind the revival of pottery in the valley, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
Saima's journey from an engineering career to becoming a renowned potter is nothing short of extraordinary. Initially, pottery was her refuge, a sanctuary where she battled depression and anxiety. However, her passion quickly evolved into a mission to rejuvenate a dwindling craft. Her dedication and talent have not only earned her recognition at the national and international levels but have also ignited a renewed interest in pottery among the youth of Kashmir.
