"Kevala is proud to produce ceramic tableware entirely handmade in Bali. We champion over a hundred artisans who specialise in hand carving moulds, wheel throwing and surface decoration. Each unique item of tableware is worked on by at least 12 pairs of hands before it makes its way to our clients who design their bespoke pieces and collections with us."

Conscious of the issues surrounding the sustainability of our planet, Kevala is taking major steps to adapt production to ensure it is both socially and ecologically responsible.
Sara Howard, a ceramicist and sustainable materials designer for the ceramics industry, is working with Kevala to achieve this. Sara specializes in building symbiotic relationships with other industries and designing circular loops for the ceramics industry.
"The research and development in this area is showcased in the Circular Ceramics tableware collection made from 75-100% waste, sourced from local industries, pollution from rivers and ceramic production.  With the ceramics industry being dependant on depleting natural resources, Sara sought out alternatives that are not only sourced locally, but also divert waste away from landfill. The clay body is made entirely out of waste reclaimed from Kevala’s wastewater treatment system. The glaze is made from consumer waste glass retrieved from Bali’s rivers, slurry from marble and granite factories and glaze residues reclaimed from ceramic production. The natural clay finishing is made from 75% less natural resources and the coloured pieces are made from 100% waste. With each reclamation, a new limited-edition glaze is born, resulting in an ever-evolving collection. "
"In 2022, Sara launched the ‘Clay and Coral Restoration Programme’ in collaboration with Kevala and Patina Maldives. In this workshop, members of the public are invited to hand build ceramic structures for live coral fragments to be inserted and planted onto local reefs. We have since expanded to Lombok and offer the workshop at Kevala Studio with 50% of the profits donated to Indonesia Biru Foundation to aid their coral restoration programme.
At Kevala, we are constantly learning and exploring new methods that will reduce our impact on the planet. We will continue to evolve as we aspire to be better, and do better."
