Pedro Kalache was born in Rio de Janeiro and came to live in the UK during his early childhood. He was brought up and educated in London and maintains a strong connection with his country of origin, Brazil. He is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.
In 1994 Pedro moved to Brazil and spent the next five years living there. During this period he began formal training in art and design. His education continued in the UK where he returned to study design at degree level.
A fascination for clay and ceramics developed whilst on a 3D design foundation course. This led to undergraduate study of Ceramic Design at Central Saint Martins where he graduated with Honours in 2005.
Pedro's first commissioned work provided the focus to his ceramic practice: tile design and site specific installations.
The designer/maker has since produced works for public spaces, schools, sheltered housing projects and private residential settings. He uses a wide range of ceramic techniques to suit the exact nature and context of each project.
He is a firm believer in the creative potential of ceramics and its unique capacity to shape and transform our built-up environments.
Pedro Kalache lives in North London.
