Visit to Thimi Ceramics

Shaping Clay, Preserving Tradition

Kathmandu

“The tradition of handmade pottery in Nepal is deeply rooted in its cultural and artistic heritage. Practiced for centuries, it is particularly prominent in the Newar communities of the Kathmandu Valley, with Bhaktapur being a major hub. Artisans use locally sourced clay, shaping pots, lamps, and decorative items by hand or on a wheel before firing them in traditional kilns. These pottery pieces serve both utilitarian and ritualistic purposes. Despite modernization, handmade pottery remains a symbol of Nepal’s craftsmanship, with efforts to preserve and promote this eco-friendly art form through tourism, workshops, and sustainable practices.”
