Fustat Pottery Village

In Fustat, the Pottery Village keeps a craft visible in which hands shape clay before firing fixes its form. Workshops brought production and sales together in an area associated with pottery, while redevelopment projects sought to support artisans and improve their working environment.

Different vessels reveal different stages of making, from unfired bodies to finished objects. What you encounter inside a workshop depends on the work in progress and permission to enter. This is a place where people produce and sell their wares, so the visit follows the rhythm of real work.
