Our Philosophy

We are a group of all women Ceramic artists , founder - Khushboo Saraogi as chief ceramists from Raipur, India. Working in close connection with the values of the universal elements of earth, fire, water and air, production we make is deeply influenced by the environment. Stepping in the world of art and pottery has been quite a fascinating journey and at last successfully opening a brand of hand made pottery where we carve functional ware, decoratives, planters and many more kind of ceramics

MEET THE ARTIST

KHUSHBOO SARAOGI

I’m a Raipur-based architect turned potter, passionate about the transformative power of clay. My journey began with a curious mind exploring various artistic avenues, from the rhythmic beats of the tabla to the expressive strokes of a paintbrush.

However, it was the allure of architectural design that ultimately shaped my professional path. After completing my architectural thesis, I discovered a profound connection with clay, igniting a passion that led to the establishment of C.I.C.O. in 2019

At C.I.C.O., I blend technical precision with artistic flair to craft unique ceramic pieces. My work is influenced by my architectural background, often reflecting a minimalist aesthetic and a keen eye for detail. I am particularly drawn to the tactile nature of clay, allowing me to explore a range of techniques, from traditional hand-building to wheel-throwing.
