About the speaker
Tantri Mustika is a Melbourne-based ceramic artist renowned for crafting a diverse yet distinctive array of highly detailed ceramics.
Tantri’s ceramic works are most recognised by her colorful yet earthy toned palette applied using various applications of meticulously hand-stained and marbled clays mirroring the allure of natural stone.
Tantri’s ceramic works are often inspired by the natural world and personal memories. These stories re-visited and translated through the use of intricate textures, motif exploration and repetition.
Her artistic philosophy revolves around embracing the beauty found in imperfection, recognizing that it is often within the subtle quirks and irregularities, that true character and uniqueness emerge. Each piece bears the unique marks of the artist's hand, celebrating the inherent imperfections that make each piece one-of-a-kind.
Presently, Tantri has redirected her artistic approach to focus on crafting works in small, artisanal batches, ensuring that each piece can be carefully crafted with a singular identity. Characterized by unique patterning and coloration these works result from Tantri’s unique combination of techniques and processes.

Additional details
Our theme for September is REFLECTION.
Just like an echo is a reflection of sound… and how a camera lens focuses reflected light to form a photograph… our subconscious reflects on our experiences to form our beliefs.
Reflection turns our traumas and triumphs into lessons. It’s how we can create a vision for a brighter future.
We are very lucky to have ceramic artist Tantri Mustika joining us to speak on the theme of Reflection this month.
