Shri Krushna Stonecraft

Pravakar Parida is the artisan behind Shri Krushna Stonecrafts, a traditional stone craft practice based in Iswarpur village, Odisha. The brand focuses on handmade stoneware created entirely by hand, including pickle jars, cups, glasses, thalis, bowls, and plates. Each piece is shaped slowly using age-old techniques, balancing everyday functionality with cultural memory. His journey with stone carving began within his family home, where the craft has been practiced for generations. Pravakar learned the skills of stone carving from his father, Bhagaban Parida, absorbing both technique and respect for the material. Over the past few years, he has worked to bring a contemporary sensibility to this inherited craft while remaining rooted in tradition. Through Shri Krushna Stonecrafts, Pravakar creates objects that carry the spirit of his land and community and heritage.
