Immerse yourself in one of East Africa's oldest artisan traditions with this private, hands-on eco-pottery and clay art masterclass.

Your experience begins with an introduction to the natural local clay, learning how it is sourced from the surrounding hills and prepared using generations-old techniques. Afterward, roll up your sleeves and take your place at the workstation. Under the patient, expert guidance of a master potter, you will learn to shape, mold, and smooth the clay by hand, discovering how traditional coffee pots (Jebena), cooking dishes, and beautiful ornamental pieces are meticulously formed without modern machines. Share stories and laughter during this rich cultural exchange, and watch the fascinating open-firing process. Conclude your artistic journey by receiving a small piece of authentic local pottery as a special keepsake, followed by a refreshing cup of traditional coffee.
