Pemba Pottery Experience

Uzoefu wa Ufinyanzi wa Pemba

Earth, water, fire, hands.

Pemba still makes pots the old way — local clay, a slow wheel or a coiling hand, a firing that smells of wood. Sit with the artisans, shape a vessel, and take home something that was mud an hour ago. Craft as livelihood, not souvenir theatre.
