Pottery Making Workshop in Lalitpur Nepal

Pottery is deeply rooted in Nepalese culture, with its origins dating back more than 2,600 years, as evidenced by some of the oldest recorded finds. Traditionally, these handmade pots have been an essential part of daily life, used for storing goods, transporting water, and serving both functional and decorative purposes. Crafted on a traditional potter’s wheel and adorned with classic Nepali designs, pottery reflects the country’s rich heritage, creativity, and close connection to natural materials.

The workshop begins with hands-on play using clay, shaping it into tiny animals to spark creativity and evoke childhood memories. This initial stage helps you understand the right moisture level needed to shape clay while enjoying a fun and relaxed introduction to the craft. You’ll then move on to the pottery wheel, where the excitement peaks as you learn to find the center point and form pots of different shapes and sizes, adding traditional designs and patterns. Guided by a skilled pottery master, you’ll also discover various techniques and gain insight into the history of pottery making in Nepal. Join our pottery workshop for an unforgettable, creative, and culturally rich experience.
