Ceramist Nikita Dawar at Third Wave Coffee Roasters, Indiranagar
My artistic style is minimilist and I tend to play with colours with every season. I am inspired by ‘Slow Living’, a slow, mindful lifestyle which allows me to change with every season. Like nature, my forms tend to flow and take shape organically.
I learnt pottery 3 years back in order to ground myself by connecting with the earth. I am a designer, yoga practitioner, cat lady and a potter. I like to live slow inspired by the ‘slow living movement’ and dislike the modern ways of living, ironically born, brought up and living in a city. Slow practices like pottery, yoga, taking time to savour mundane activities are able to connect me back to the earth, the source so I can be in my own bubble whatever the external environment. My style is minimilist, organic, reflects my current of being.

Ceramist Anubha Jaswal at Third Wave Roasters, Kormangala
A person who strongly believes that nothing is perfect in this world, she finds her inspiration from nature and understands that nature is never symmetrical, this being her root inspiration of work, she believes in bringing beauty and joy in the use of even the smallest of things we use in everyday life.
A former corporate professional, she feels clay pulled her out of the mundane life that is the norm today and embarked her on an adventurous journey that changed her world view. A full-time clay person for the past 9 years, her skills have refined under the tutledge of various artists across the country. She currently works in Banglaore and has recently set up her studio @ Lahe Lahe Santhe in Indra Nagar.
About Third Wave Coffee Roasters
Dedicated to bringing the best of coffee Third Wave Coffee Roasters tracks its origins to the city of Bangalore. However, the journey of getting here spans multiple continents – from the coffee bistros of San Diego to the bustling streets of Ranchi in India. Born from a genuine need of improving the quality of coffee experiences in India, Third Wave originated from what we like to call a ‘coffee high’ and multiple late-night conversations on building a remarkable experience around coffee. We borrow our name from some of the best practices between coffee bean farmers and retailers who invest tremendous time in understanding the growing conditions of the coffee – now known as the ‘third wave of coffee movement’. WE DO THE SAME.
Our process of studying the quality of each stage of the coffee journey – from bean to cup – is rigorously followed for all of our batches. We partner with select estates, monitor the harvest conditions, roast the coffee at an ideal temperature and pressure variation – WE BELIEVE this results in bringing the finest out of our coffee beans. We get you the best available arabica beans freshly roasted to get you the third wave experience. We get you single origin beans from selected estates and also conjure blends which are best suited for your cold brews, espresso or interesting filter methods.

Ceramist Shubha V Raghavan at Om Made Cafe
A software engineer turned Studio Potter, Shubha’s journey with clay started in 2015 when she enrolled into a course at Clay Station, Bangalore. She took an instant liking to the medium and continued with her explorations. She has participated in the first edition of Bangalore Studio Potters’ Market 2016 and Bowl’d Over 2018 – a curated group show in Bangalore.
Shubha creates studio pottery under the brand Craft So Sublime. Most of her work is functional and wheel-thrown. The forms are simple, aesthetic and for daily use. She likes to experiment with textures, patterns, cut-work and various glaze decoration techniques.

Ceramist Seema Kalra at Another Fine Day
Though I specialize in stoneware tableware (fired to high temperature), I also design jewelry and home decor items including wall murals. My work was part of the ColourNext 2017 album, at the India Design Week 2017. I have also exhibited at the IHC and AIFACS, New Delhi. I run a teaching studio in Gurgaon where I take regular classes for adults and kids. To ensure food safety, I make my own glaze.
The adage that the ‘pot makes itself’ is most apt for my work. Other ceramic artists and contrasts and textures in creation are reflected in my pieces. Whether it’s a small piece of jewelry, a cup or mural, an ordinary form becomes different because of the imprint of my hand and the play of the elements in the kiln at a particular moment; and make it stand apart.
