Tania Misra
From The Heart🧡

Looking at Tania's work, you would assume she has been a potter her whole life. The skillful mastery she exhibits - in particular, with her handcrafted flowers - is just incredible. However, before dedicating herself to ceramics, Tania worked as an Architect and Urban Designer. For many years, she designed townships as well as slum redevelopment projects around the world. After her decision to pursue her passion for ceramics, Tania began her training at NAFA studying under the esteemed Singaporean master potter, Lim Kim Hui.

In 2011, she traveled to Japan to study the intricate traditional art of flower making at the Tokyo Deco Clay Academy before going to France to study casting under renowned ceramicist Sasha Wardell. With this knowledge and exposure, Tania then opened her own studio in 2015.

Tania's unique background has helped her combine her techniques and design sensibilities to seamlessly intertwine both East and West to create designs that appeal to all walks of life. As a teacher, Tania encourages her students to follow their own path, to develop their own unique personal aesthetic and to express themselves through each piece they create. Padme Hum Studio and the unique work it produces is a testament to what can be achieved when you follow your passion and work from the heart.
