A morning with clay
An unhurried introduction to pottery, from the first turn of a wheel to the rows of pots drying in the sun.
2 hours · Hands-on, gentle pace
All experiences
Begin with the clay.
In Bhaktapur, craft belongs to everyday life. Clay vessels sit in ordered rows, waiting for the sun, while a wheel turns in a workshop nearby.
This imagined Aavren experience leaves time to observe, ask and try. Start with a conversation about clay, then make a simple form of your own. An uneven rim can be a good memory.
