An integral part of Nepalese culture, the art of pottery goes back milleniums, with the oldest being found in Lumbini with a recorded age of over 2,600 years old.
These pots are used in everyday life, be it storing, transporting water, decorative purposes, lamps and even for making liquor. Made on a traditional potter's wheel, and adorned with traditional Nepali designs, this is quintessential Nepali culture at its best!
Come join our pottery course and try making one for yourself to bring home! If you have a day to spare we can even fire it for you otherwise we could use a rapid dry spray as well.
