Four Decades of Crafting Art
with Purpose
About
I'm Rajashree Dadarkar,
a Pune-based artist . Deeply rooted in the soulful mediums of Terracotta, Stained Glass, and Mosaic . I hold a Diploma in G.D. Art, Commercial Art and received formal pottery training from Gramoday Sangh, Bhadrawati.
My artistic journey began in 1980 with my late husband, Sanjay Dadarkar, in pottery and ceramics. Over the past 44 years, I’ve evolved through each medium, blending tradition, nature, and creativity into every piece.
We founded Dadarkar Art Studio with the vision of nurturing handmade art and passing on these time-honored crafts. Today, it continues as my sanctuary—a space for creating, teaching, and remembering. Each work I make reflects the legacy we built together.From rustic terracotta lamps and wall frames to vibrant stained-glass mosaics, my art is inspired by Indian folk traditions, nature, and the quiet strength of minimalism. I truly believe: “If I love my artwork, others will too.”Workshops and teaching are close to my heart. Hundreds of students have learned not just techniques, but also the joy, patience, and mindfulness of working with your hands.Even at 67, I continue to explore and create—because for me, art is not just work, it’s a way of life.
