About the facilitator

Shilpa Raghavan is a professional sculptor who specialises in creating miniature sculptures. She prefers working with earthenware clay to minimise the harmful effects on the environment. The sense of challenge that comes from sculpting miniatures especially with earthenware clay spurs her on to constantly keep growing as an artist. She has found great motivation from the works of Willard Wigan, microscopic sculptor, whom she holds as a great inspiration. She trained as a sculptor at Life & Art Academy in Chennai, and she continues her sculpting exploration by periodically making forays into newer areas. She appreciates the value and captivating charm of any hand-made artwork and enjoys the organic nature of creating something by hand.
