Ceramicist and sculptor Kiara Hayashida believes that creating something with your own hands is the most direct way to turn your dreams into reality. For her, the malleability of clay and its applications after firing allow you to make long-lasting decorative and usable pieces.
In this course, learn how to work the clay to shape your own pieces and decorate them with floral designs. Discover various manual techniques for working with this material and fall in love with rustic designs; an eye-catching alternative in a world where almost everything is mass-produced.

Reviews
A course by Kiara Hayashida
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.
