Highly recommended!!!
This was SUCH a fun experience!! MUCH better than I thought it would be. Very well organized, friendly, and lovely environment. Truly unforgettable and a nice respite from all the other things that must be seen. AND it’s for a great cause! 😊

Fun way to stay in the shade.
That was fun and I shall never not fully appreciate pottery again. Love their business model and was so happy to contribute to such a worthwhile organization.

Beautiful experience 🥰
Everyone was so kind. From the moment you enter, they greet you with warm hearts. The teachers are all deaf, so everything is explained in very easy-to-follow sign language. The teacher was very kind and patient, and helped every step of the process. Everyone was given five projects to do. At the end, you choose one to be glazed and fired for free. Each additional piece was only $5.00. The whole experience was so delightful, and I left very satisfied. I have already told my family and friends to take the class. It was beautiful to see how they have created this co-op and are helping by providing a skill and employment. I wish them the best and many blessings to them.

Relaxing and creative activity
Really lovely place and such an enjoyable activity! The staff were lovely and it was a treat with the hotel pickup.

Great Family Activity Supporting A Good Cause
Have a go throwing and decorating pots or sculpting with clay to local Khmer designs. The majority of staff are deaf and/or mute. They couldn't be more friendly or enthusiastic. If you want to take your creations home allow a couple of days for them to be fired and return to collect. Not expensive and supporting a good cause.

Poor instruction - not recommended
Very bad experience at the pottery workshop - very limited instruction, effectively just renting a potters wheel and ‘having a go’. Instructor then comes along and re-does your pot for you. When I raised an issue with staff they were very insistent I should stay and try again, which I obviously did not want to do after already spending an hour here having learned nothing. 2 stars as they did refund some of my money, and there looked to be some nice pieces in the shop. However I would not recommend their workshop, unless you are just looking to mess around with clay for an hour.

An authentic and rewarding experience
I attended a traditional ceramics workshop in Siem Reap and it was a great experience. The local craftsmen were very welcoming and patient, explaining every step of the process with passion.
J
Fun relaxing afternoon playing with clay
This experience was such fun but not as easy as it looks! Don’t take yourself too seriously and just enjoy having a go. If like me, you’re rubbish at pottery there is a fantastic gift shop with all manner of beautiful creations to purchase at reasonable prices. This is run by and supports local artists. Highly recommend.
