History of Auroville Coffee Mugs:
Ceramic pottery art was brought to Auroville, Pondicherry, by Ray Meeker and Deborah Smith in the late 1960s. Both were American ceramic artists who came to Auroville and played a significant role in establishing the ceramic studio known as Golden Bridge Pottery. This studio became a hub for pottery and ceramic art in Auroville, training numerous local artisans and influencing the development of high-quality ceramic work in the region. Their work has had a lasting impact on the artistic community in Auroville, blending traditional Indian techniques with contemporary styles.
