Lao Pottery House

Lao Pottery House, just a short boat ride from Luang Prabang, invites you to step into the world of traditional Lao pottery. Run by the Lamphet family in the village of Chan Nua, this experience helps keep centuries-old pottery skills alive while supporting the local community.

Visitors of all ages can join a hands-on workshop, guided by patient local teachers. You’ll learn how to shape your own pot using time-honored techniques, and you can take home a handmade souvenir or choose a finished piece from the collection. The experience also includes a friendly village tour and a delicious home-cooked Lao meal, giving you a real taste of local life.

Lao Pottery House is more than just a workshop. It provides jobs and skills for villagers, including people with disabilities and those facing tough times. By joining a class or buying pottery, you help preserve a fading tradition and support the families who keep it going.

Whether you’re a traveler, a family, or someone curious about Lao culture, Lao Pottery House offers a warm welcome and a memorable, meaningful experience.
