About this experience
Thimi is the pottery heart of the Kathmandu Valley. In this hands-on workshop, Master Potter Hari will teach you to mold clay on a traditional manual wheel. You'll make your own clay cups (pala) and pots, paint them, and take them home. Afterward, we'll head upstairs to Hari's family home for a hearty home-cooked Newari lunch.
