Isha Chatterjee Art
My name is Isha and I come from a beautifully chaotic country, India. A lot of what I do is a representation of where I come from and how it has had an impact in making me the person I am today.
I moved to Adelaide over six years ago when I decided to pursue a Master of Teaching (Special Education) at the age of 30. It wasn’t easy to leave my family and home and come all the way to Australia, but if I was given an option I would do it all over again. I have been exploring ceramics and other forms of art for over a decade.
Although I enjoy working with different mediums and forms of art, I keep coming back to ceramics. There is something about the process of moulding clay which has moulded me in many ways.
Another medium I am drawn to is weaving. I love that I can take my bag of raffia and needles with me anywhere I go. Weaving keeps me in the moment in this very chaotic world. Crafting is such a wonderful gift. I still feel mesmerised every time I see a malleable material take a beautiful form in our hands. And, that magic is what I envision sharing with my community through my workshops.
For over three years now I have been conducting workshops at my home. Bringing my two passions of teaching and art is what fills my cup.
Join me for weaving workshops, pottery workshops and art retreats. I also sell my pottery and woven baskets online on my website and sometimes at markets.

I love doing business here because…
“I love the sense of community in the hills. I’ve felt so welcomed and in a short span of time I feel one with everyone.”
