  1. BEHIND THE CRAFT: GATAGARA CERAMICS Today we’re excited to introduce the Bud Vase, the Mini Vase, and the Gatagara Large Vase to our ceramics collection! They are all handcrafted in Rwanda at the Gatagara pottery workshop

  2. GATAGARA CERAMICS Gatagra is located in the southern Nyanza district, which is considered the cradle of Rwanda’s heritage and one of the best places to go for masterfully crafted ceramics in Rwanda.

  3. Pottery-making in Rwanda Basically, we start by sourcing the clay, sand, and chalk which is found in our surroundings. We mix all the materials together, and after that we dry that mixture for a few hours and we pound and clean it.

  4. The process of creating ceramics Normally, we or the client have in mind the shape of the product to be created - be it a cup, a vase, or a plate. We take our finished clay to the pottery wheel and start forming the shape we want using our hands.
