Rekha Bajpe Aggarwal, an Economics (Hons.) graduate working as an advertising filmmaker, accidentally stumbled upon clay twenty years back, and fell in love. She has not looked back since the first lesson with DipaleeDaroz at the Delhi Blue Pottery studio, and has dedicated the last twenty years of her life to the beloved medium and the promotion of it.
As an artist, she started out on the diverse journey of creating commissioned architectural ceramics at her studio, Studio Re4clay, in 2012, to finance her Project of working with traditional potters for the preservation and sustenance of traditional pottery. She has been creating artworks and exhibiting and selling them in Exhibitions in India and abroad, and her work is in several private collections.

She is in the process of cataloguing some private collections and has been invited to speak on ceramics at various venues around the country and to participate in seminars and lead panel discussions on the topic.
She currently works out of her studio, Studio Re4clay, a ceramic hub based in Delhi-NCR, that she established in the year 2000. She has been a Trustee on the Board of Delhi Blue for the last ten years. Among her ceramic-related activities that include creating artwork, teaching, curating, collecting small ceramic artwork, and writing about ceramics, are creating and editing “Indian Ceramic Quarterly” since 2008, the only studio ceramic-related publication in the country
