The handsome coffee-table book Pottery Traditions of Pakistan is an endorsement on all those claims and more. Its author, Nabahat Lotia, a celebrated Karachi-based studio potter and ceramist, whose roots trace back to Lahore and Delhi, talks about the traditions of pottery, as also suggested by the book’s title. Nabahat’s love for pottery drove her to learn the basics of the art and how it was and came to be practised in different cultures of Pakistan.
Some years after getting married and settling down in Karachi for a bit after graduating from the National College of Arts, she found herself back in Lahore in the late 1980s, due her architect husband’s posting there, and looking for local potters.
Her search brought her to a place on the outskirts of Lahore called Qainchi where the main road split into two, like a scissor’s blades, hence the name. The place was a hub of clayworks such as flower pots, roof tiles, tandoors, and vessels of utility, such as cooking pots, matkas, pitchers, jugs, bowls etc.
