Tn_pottery The Lokkalyan Shikshan Sanstha (LSS) The traditional potters in Aajgaon are hesitant to teach pottery to their kids. Nowadays entire potter families, including their kids, go to brick factories to make bricks. LSS started a pilot workshop along with Mr. Aajgaonkar, a well-know ceramic artist, and his student in Nov 1997 for a week. The workshop was a success and reconfirmed an earlier observation that ceramic art would be the most feasible vocation-training course in that area.
