Hemen Patel

A Ceramic Engineer by qualification, with a passion for Decoration Techniques in Ceramics. With more than 30 years of experience, the pursuit of quality in materials, design and style, have made VRIDA a landmark in ceramics craftsmanship. Having started working in the family business of wall tiles manufacture in 1990 , my 1st industrial experience was an encounter between the traditional manufacturing processes & the new technologies & raw materials. This  experience along with the exposure to international trendsetting products, processes & materials during my industrial internships in Italy & Germany ,(with global leaders in their respective domains) inspired me to work with a passion for new blends and finishes on surfaces. This creative instinct  led to the analysis of  the alchemy of materials- their behaviour with the natural raw materials, oxides & the application techniques with the  different firing conditions - these details & peculiarity were being ignored in the pursuit of large-scale industrial production & consistency of results. I have strived to keep the traditional creative flair & respect for the traditional  hand crafting ethos in  ceramic decorations at the very forefront of all our endeavours at VRIDA . Each of our product is made by hand & the simple tools used in the long tradition of ceramic decorations. This allows us to make products that are unique & a tribute to the artisan skill of the people who make it. The raw material is processed and finished by hand, with care and passion, recalling the typical local craftsmanship, the highest expression individuality & skills of the human hands & souls that make each product !
