Colour N Clay

Our shop is tucked away at A 8 in the Ratnasagar Apartment complex. If you know the Akota area, you know how busy Grant Trunk Road can get during the morning rush. We are right there in the Miller Road Industries Estate. It’s not a flashy place by any means. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we spend most of our time actually working with the materials instead of worrying about how the front desk looks. You can find us near Sunmoon Society. People often stop by just because they saw the name Colour N Clay while they were stuck in traffic. Most days start with us opening up the shutters and dusting off the shelves. The air in this part of Vadodara always smells a bit like dust and old paper. We’ve been here for a good while now, so the neighbors all know us by name. It gets pretty hot in the afternoons when the sun hits the industrial estate buildings. We just keep the fans going and stay busy. The floors are usually covered in some sort of residue from the clay we use, but that’s just how it goes when you’re actually making things. It’s a practical space. We don’t have fancy coffee machines or glass partitions. Just some sturdy tables, a lot of different pigments, and our tools. It is a quiet life most of the time, despite the constant noise coming from the main road.
