Hi, I’m Kimia Tajmir, a ceramic designer and studio professional with hands-on experience in kiln operation, glaze preparation, and studio management. Since 2020 I’ve led and supported ceramic studios, managed firing schedules, and taught students from wheel throwing to hand-building, always prioritizing safety, organization, and creative exploration.
I enjoy guiding learners of all ages through the full ceramic process—from forming to glazing—while designing structured curricula that encourage experimentation and skill development in a supportive studio environment.
