WASIS Studio was founded by Kina Hassan, a Terengganu-born and raised

artist | maker of contemporary jewellery + objects. She is informally trained by jewellery artists in Bangkok and Istanbul where she lived for a few years. Her time spent there informed and influenced her unconventional approach to jewellery making and design. 

​

Most of the designs of her pieces came about intuitively, inspired by abstract shapes and everyday objects. She works primarily with brass -- an homage to her cultural heritage -- as well as silver, and is also pursuing her interest in ceramics. Kina currently lives in Kuala Lumpur with her husband. She keeps an edible garden and loves going on long walks as part of her creative process.
