Our Story
Born from Devasom’s commitment to celebrating local culture and nurturing artistic expression, KALA TERRA will open its doors in early 2025. From its inception and beyond, this ceramic studio in Khao Lak embodies our dedication to supporting the local way of life while embracing the region’s rich culture, unique arts, and inherited wisdom.

KALA TERRA serves as a bridge between ancient artistry and modern creativity, offering both resort guests and local communities an ongoing opportunity to explore the timeless art of ceramics.
