This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn a new skill and connect with the local community in a meaningful way. It is a fun, creative, and meditative experience perfectly suited for individuals, families, and groups of friends.
To start, a professional local artist will demonstrate how to make a Cambodian masterpiece. Then, our experienced potters—including our talented deaf and mute teachers—will guide you as you shape your own ceramic pieces on a traditional pottery wheel. Using local clay, you will have the chance to create up to five unique items.
Once you have finished at the wheel, you will learn how to add Khmer Kbach (traditional ornamentation) to your work using professional carving tools. After you finish, you can choose your favorite piece to be your “masterpiece.” We will fire it in our kiln overnight so it is ready for you to pick up the next day after 6:00 PM. Along with your finished ceramic, you will receive a Potter’s Diploma—a special souvenir to take home and share with your loved ones!
