Abstract
The theme or topic chosen for this thesis is blue pottery which is originated from Jaipur in India and Multan in Pakistan. It has always been considered a very creative craft of Central Asia. As the name suggests, the term blue is associated with it because of the cobalt blue color used extensively in this craft. Like anything else, many changes have occurred in the making of this art according to the requirements and for the sake of improvement. For instance, in the beginning, a glazed coating was used which later was replaced by the lead-free coating. The purpose of mentioning this is that with time things change and many variations can be seen but why should the color scheme remain the same. I wanted to try out an infusion of these pottery designs with more color options just to make it pop even more. The idea is to create a spectacular range of textile prints with a vibrant color palette for women falling into the age window of 16 to 25 years belonging to the middle & elite class.
