Commissions begin with discovery: a client meeting and site visit. Once we determine the project scope, we’ll deliver a proposal outlining the concept, materials, timeline, and budget. The process is highly collaborative – together we’ll create a singular piece for your space.
PROCESS
Commissions begin with a discovery meeting to understand your goals, space, and aesthetic. From there, we develop a proposal outlining concept, materials, timeline, and budget, with each artwork designed specifically for its site and conditions. The process is collaborative, detail-oriented, and grounded in integrity, longevity, and clear communication.
CASE STUDY: OPUS ONE CONSTELLATIONS
Commissioned installation for Opus One Winery in Oakville, California. The work is based on the constellations you see from the vineyard, including Cassiopeia (the Queen) and Lacerta (The Lizard).
METHODOLOGY
Our work combines research, personal experience, and extensive material testing, with every ceramic element hand-formed and individually glazed in house. Each piece moves through multiple firings and careful handling, allowing for unique clay bodies and glazes tailored to the project. For large-scale and architectural works, we address structural considerations in consultation with a licensed contractor.
CASE STUDY: TAHOE ASPEN LEAF
Large scale, custom ceramic installation for the Presidential Suite at the Ritz Carlton Tahoe.
WHY CERAMICS?
We love ceramics for its durability, archival quality, and expressive potential. We bring in other material such as metal, wood, and plaster when the work calls for it. With over two decades of experience, Kala’s works balance material rigor with visual impact.
We work with art advisors, individual home owners, interior designers, hospitality, architects, curators and collectors. Please email me for more information.
