More About This Experience

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! Learn about how to get the clay to the optimal moisture level for moulding and have lots of fun with the pottery wheel! Once you have your basic shape hammered out, then take your time to adorn it with beautiful patterns and inscriptions. Our pottery master can also show you a variety of Nepalese patterns and explain what they all mean. Come join our pottery course and try making one for yourself to bring home! Note: It takes about 2 days for the pottery to dry so please book with ample time to spare for the pottery to dry if you want to take it home. If you want to fire it then it will take 2 weeks. Please note that if you have selected an add on for pick up then we use local taxis.
