The Andretta Pottery is run by Mansimran "Mini" Singh, son of famous legendary potter Gurcharan Singh. The founder of Delhi Blue Art Pottery, Gurcharan Singh was responsible for introducing Studio art pottery into India. It is situated between the old Shuahk hills and the high range of the Dholadhar Himalaya. As well as being a production studio and making attractively designed earthen slipware, it also provides three months courses for aspiring potters. In Andretta Pottery, their major production is tableware utility, which consists of Cups, Bowls, and Plates. It's all made up of natural terracotta, and the glazes used here are food-friendly glazes.
Andretta Pottery is especially noticed because of two things: the products sold here are made up of natural terracotta. The second one is the slip trailing and designing. In Slip designing, diluted clay is used. The design works and the patterns they do here are derived from the Rangoli Patterns of Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. Glaze Firing is done for all the Products from Andretta Pottery, so it is safe to be even used in Microwave Oven for baking. Andretta has become a sanctuary for potters and also a popular tourist attraction of the region.
