Cham pottery festival set to open

A highlight will be a pair of three-metre-tall ceramic vases crafted entirely by artisans using traditional techniques.

The large vases depict the pottery-making process of the Cham people. Their flame-shaped design recalls the village’s traditional open-air firing technique. 

The festival will offer hands-on pottery and brocade weaving activities, along with folk games, local food and Cham cultural performances.

The festival will also promote and preserve the art of Cham pottery-making, which is inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
