Originally from Lima, Peru, Kiara Hayashida discovered ceramics while in search of new creative outlets. She began her fascinating journey with this artistic medium and in 2015 she founded Kiara Hayashida Ceramics (KHC).
Her pieces seek to enhance our perception of the day-to-day and provide an alternative to mass-produced objects. Perceiving volume, analyzing the texture of the glazes, and observing the imprints left by this creative process are unique experiences that you can only find with hand-made pieces.
