Clay forms the primary material Unventured works with. Sourcing it locally, the brand recycles every scrap, and fires with purpose—mindful that once transformed, clay becomes timeless. From formulating their own glazes to experimenting with diverse firing techniques such as gas, wood, and electric, it continually pushes the boundaries of craftsmanship. Apart from its offerings, its mission is to expand the clay community, collaborate with local artisans, and craft meaningful experiences that enrich everyday life.
About The Founder
Raji Devta, an Ahmedabad-based product designer is the founder of Clayventures as well as Unventured. Along with her role as an entrepreneur and lead designer, she is also an artist and a design educator, where she nurtures the next generation of creators. Through her travels, she has explored a wide range of techniques, which find their way into the objects she creates. Devta’s constant endeavour to experiment with materials has resulted in explorations in wood-firing and interior elements. Her current focus is understanding stone carving techniques and amalgamating them with ceramics.
Design Philosophy
Unventured’ designs draw inspiration from nature and the rich language of Indian motifs. Preserving traditional craftsmanship is at the heart of its process, coupled with sustainable practices that are suited for today’s time. Designed with intention, every piece begins on paper and ends in the kiln, carrying a story of touch, transformation, and care. The brand’s minimal, playful, and grounded design language reflects a thoughtful balance between form and function.
