Ink by Prashantini Raj

Prashantini is the founder of Ink by Prashantini Raj, a handmade art brand started in 2022. She is also an early childhood educator, and both roles shape the way she works with care, patience, and intention. Her practice is rooted in making functional and giftable objects that carry memory and meaning. Her interest in working with her hands began in childhood and grew stronger over the years through constant experimentation with materials, form, and storytelling. She primarily works with clay, along with paint, thread, and resin, building each piece slowly over several days. The process includes shaping, detailing, painting, and finishing by hand, allowing space for small variations that make every object unique. Her work often draws from everyday Indian life such as language, textiles, childhood objects, and shared cultural moments. Through Ink by Prashantini Raj, she creates keepsakes that are meant to be used, gifted, and held onto, turning familiar, ordinary forms into objects that feel personal and lasting.
