Throw your own pot on the wheel at Potter's Square, where Bhaktapur's clay trade has run for centuries.
About this place
Summary
At Bhaktapur's Pottery Square, working potters run short hands-on sessions where you throw your own pot on a traditional wheel — then watch the masters shape lamp bases in seconds flat. Your piece dries while you explore; several studios ship finished, fired pieces abroad. Best combined with the Durbar Square and Nyatapola circuit.
Skip if
Skip if you want a polished art class — this is a working yard, not a studio school.
