Adil Writer is an artist living in the international community of Auroville in the verdant forests of south India. He has a master's degree in urban design from the University of Houston, Texas. After working in Bombay as an architect for over a decade, he discovered clay at the iconic Golden Bridge Pottery in Pondicherry in 1998. Three years later he moved to Auroville and joined Mandala Pottery as a partner where he plays a balancing act between functional ceramics and soda/woodfired stoneware; the latter takes him to far corners of the globe for exhibitions, demos and presentations. Writer also has his painting atelier in Auroville where he paints large scale canvases with native clays and acrylics, a technique he has experimented with and in a way, pioneered. This movie includes demos of his claywork as well as his clay paintings.... the process of which is hypnotic! We also pay a visit to the Coromandel Cafe in Pondicherry where British head-chef, Jay, makes an art form with plateing her food in Writer's tableware. Writer's current series, Sweet Dreams, is also featured here.
