CLAY ART CENTER

Abstract

Natural clay is a fine-grained substance made of microscopic particles, minerals, and organic matter. It can be found in a variety of colors, from white and gray to red, yellow, and brown, and is created when rocks weather. Clay is a versatile material that can be used in a wide range of contexts, including ceramics, building, and art. Earthenware clay, ball clay, stoneware clay, and porcelain clay are the four different types of clay. A clay art center can assist in maintaining Nepal's long tradition of ceramic and pottery production by giving artists the tools and support they need to keep working with clay. The primary goal is to raise the standard of living for artists and provide a platform for vanishing clay art. Only 20% of people are currently engaged in clay art in Nepal due to the industry's decline. The Center can offer local artists a platform to sell their work, which can help to support their livelihoods and the community's economy, as well as training and resources to help them continue honing their craft. The Clay Art Centre can help improve access to training and resources that would otherwise be challenging to obtain by providing educational opportunities. A well-known Center may also draw visitors and tourists eager to learn about and purchase ceramics made in Nepal, which could help the region's economy even more. Additionally, the Clay Art Centre can offer a venue for artists from various places and cultures to interact and exchange techniques, aesthetics, and life experiences, promoting communication and understanding. The proposed location is in Ward No. 2 of Manohara, Pepsicola. The location is a piece of farmland. The location is on the Madhyapur Thimi's edge. It is located 5.4 km west of Bhaktapur and 300 meters east of Kathmandu. The location is close to the line separating Bhaktapur and Kathmandu. There is a small clay studio close by. The location of the site is 1 km from the CTEVT. The site is too big for the center's further development. Because the location is in a commercial area, we can advertise the goods the center produces. It is close to community, nature, and culture. Although far from the city's bustle, it is still very accessible.
