Ceramico Arts and Crafts

🍽️ Description

Ceramico Arts & Crafts is a beloved pottery studio and ceramics workshop tucked into a quiet corner of La Paz, Iloilo City.

🧭 Lakatta Tip

Book your pottery session ahead of time (call or message the studio) — slots run out fast especially on weekends. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting clay on, and don’t rush: take the time to mold, shape, and glaze. Ask the instructor to guide you through finishing techniques — it’ll make your piece more durable and beautiful.
