Pedro Kalache is dedicated to tailored and adaptable design and making: finely attuned to the client's needs, the individual nature and setting of the work.

He enjoys developing and producing ceramic installation works for a wide range of clients and settings.

Projects evolve by actively engaging with the client throughout all stages of the design and making process: from the initial development of ideas in response to specific design briefs, to the making and installation of the final piece.

Pedro Kalache offers a free initial consultation. Here the client can propose their installation ideas and desired outcomes for their specific settings. The most suitable ceramic methods can then be identified and suggested with an estimation of price and completion time.

Pedro Kalache is committed in delivering high quality and unique site specific ceramic installations.

Coordinated by Pedro Kalache the participants were encouraged to discuss and exchange opinions about their local borough. Using this discussion as source material the participants then sketched and painted their ideas. These ideas were developed and finally transformed into tiles. Each participant was given an unglazed tile which they hand glazed their design on to with brush-on glazes and glaze pencils. Pedro Kalache then mounted, framed and installed the tile panel as a composition at the community centre.

Pedro Kalache then developed a format and method best suited to the brief. A circular piece of clay was rolled out to 110 cm in diameter and then scored into 8 slices. The group comprised of 8 children who each had a slice on which to explore their chosen mood or emotion. Using their preparatory sketches, imagination and creativity they proceeded to mark and texture the clay slices with a variety of different carving tools, shapes and stamps. The separate slices were dried and biscuit fired by Pedro Kalache.

Pedro worked with everybody with care and sensitivity. It was clear that people understood that he was genuinely interested in them and shared appropriately. He ensured that everybody felt involved and that credit was given where due. The work was very much the "creation" of all involved, which Pedro then somehow transformed into a very attractive artwork.

Thank you Pedro!

Pedro devoted himself to helping me choose the best design for my father's 75th birthday present. From the start, he listened to my needs and adapted his designs around them. He presented me with an extensive choice of designs which we discussed before making a final decision. He was always accommodating and helpful throughout.
