Pottery Square is a square that is a few hundred meters south of the Durbar Square in Bhaktapur. It is an area where local potters come and make use of communal open-air kilns to fire up their creations. You can watch all facets of pot production, spinning, firing, drying.
What to buy: Well, here you are looking for pots, of course. Prices vary depending upon what you are looking for. Also in Bhakatpur, you will find beautiful woodwork - masks, furniture, intricately engraved windows - and also fine thankas - a form of religious paintings that are extremely detailed in both production (hand painted over many hours) and in how you actually use the picture - they are aids to meditation.
What to pay: Pots and wood work vary in cost depending upon workmanship and what they are. Thankas go for $100 and up.
