Excursion Overview
The fine art of blue pottery or blueware travelled from Central Asia to Kashmir and then to the plains of Delhi. The Rajput ruler of Jaipur, Maharaja Ram Singh II (1835 – 1880) also introduced it in Jaipur He set up an art school in Jaipur and it has since been a thriving industry and one Jaipur has become known for. The process is long and very skilled; it involves dough made from ground quartz, sodium sulphate, raw glaze and fuller’s earth before being shaped and kept in a kilt for 6 hours. Our short tour takes you to one of the city's most established workshops where you can watch and learn all about the process. It's also possible to buy some pottery while you are there. This trip is designed for those with an interest in the arts and crafts of Jaipur.

First time clients of Holiday Architects and what a memorable trip they planned and delivered for us. Lisa and Clare put together 5 weeks of criss-crossing Sri Lanka and Rajasthan in India, whilst their excellent partners on the ground made sure we had the best experience possible. What made it so special were the quirky places we stayed, the unique experiences scheduled just for us and above all the generosity of our drivers and the many guides willing to share their personal insights on local customs and culture. It goes without saying we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holiday Architects if you are planning that special trip and thank you Lisa and Clare, we loved it all!

We recently booked a holiday to India; we were helped all the way by Clare, who put together a wonderful itinerary for us. Whilst in India, we were really well supported by the local team. Our driver was fabulous and really looked after us. India is a truly amazing country with so much rich history, culture, wildlife and scenery. Above this, the people we met were friendly, interesting and interested, and a joy to meet. Thank you for a truly memorable trip.
