About

Insider tips
- Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint or clay on during crafting sessions.
- Ask about the story behind each craft to enrich your experience and connect with the artisans personally.
- Early weekdays are less crowded, making for a relaxed visit and more hands-on time.
- Bring a camera or smartphone to capture the vibrant colors and detailed handiwork, but always ask before photographing artisans at work.
