what you can experience
- Visiting the NCKCR is a ‘must’ while in the Angkor region as it brings you closer to the true Khmer spirit. It also gives you a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Khmer ceramic arts and heritage which have sadly been lost, but are now making a slow renaissance through our work and research.
- Our trainees will give you a fully guided tour with explanations and demonstrations of all the stages and processes involved in turning raw clay into a full-finished, fired and glazed Khmer ceramic object of beauty and utility. You will be fascinated by the many activities taking place and we encourage you to try your hand at the potter’s wheel!
- Join in and help us “fire” a kiln at a very high temperature. It’s an impressive and awe-inspiring activity and highly photogenic!
- Browse the beautiful selection of ceramic products in our showroom and relax in our beautiful tropical garden setting.
- Visit the NCKCR-sponsored International Khmer Ceramics Festival (IKCF), a 10-day annual event gathering Khmer and renowned ceramists from around the world. This event offers Khmer potters access to new techniques and artistic forms and takes place during the month of December in Siem Reap.
