Kazuri Beads & Pottery Centre

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:43:42

An interesting diversion in Karen, this craft centre was started up by an English expat in 1975 as a place where single mothers could learn a marketable skill and achieve self-sufficiency. From humble beginnings, the workforce has burgeoned to over 100. A free tour takes you into the various factory buildings, where you can observe the process from the moulding of raw clay to the glazing of the finished products. There's also a gift shop with fixed prices.
