Istalif Ceramics

For thousands of years Afghanistan has been producing beautifully decorated ceramic bowls and tiles. Istalif is a village near Kabul where there is a strong tradition of pottery made using locally sourced clay. Their ancient techniques have changed little over time.

Turquoise Mountain has been working with the potters in Istalif for three years, providing jobs and a regular income for local families.

Ceramics bowls are on sale throughout the exhibition for £25.
