Amazing GLAZE

Always feeling compelled to create, Nikhil Tricam and Nindya Bucktowar view art and design as the ultimate act of freedom. Their manipulation of new materials exercises their design muscles to push the limits of what they can create. While working as architects, they continued their artistic practices in their free time, and Kalki Ceramics was born.

Kalki, a name that the practice shares with their beloved dog, holds great power in its Hindu origins. The business combined Nindya’s knowledge of ceramics and Nikhil’s experience in high-end residential architecture and hospitality. The growth and positive reception Kalki Ceramics received gave them the confidence to pursue their creative endeavours full-time, leading to the establishment of Studio Kalki, the integrated design and fabrication practice they run alongside Kalki Ceramics.

You both have involvement in a variety of artistic businesses. How do you juggle these different responsibilities?
