Kapital Terracotas

Our workshop and store are tucked away in Ram Murthy Nagar, right on the main road near New Baldwin School. If you’ve ever driven down towards the Ring Road from Banaswadi, you’ve probably passed us without thinking much of it. We deal with terracotta, so there is always a bit of dust and red clay around the place. It isn’t the cleanest shop, but that is just how it goes when you’re working with earth. We started this because we liked the feel of the material. It’s simple and honest. Most of our day is spent moving pots around or checking on new shipments that come in. Sometimes the school traffic makes it hard for trucks to pull in, so we end up doing a lot of heavy lifting ourselves during the quiet hours. We don’t have a big corporate team or anything like that. It’s just us and a few helpers who know how to handle the fragile stuff. People come in looking for something for their garden or a gift, and we just show them what we’ve got on the shelves. It’s a straightforward way to make a living. We like the neighborhood, even with the noise from the main road. The sun hits the front of the shop in the afternoon, making all the clay look bright. It’s a nice place to spend the day, even if our hands are always dirty and the shelves are a bit crowded.
