WorldofGood.com: Great for People and Planet

By firing terracotta in rice straw for three days, Gopal's beautiful and functional black pottery is a stunning testament to the perennial evolution of ceramic art.

Gopal supports his family by selling in his modest store in Kathmandu. Like many artisans, Gopal sells his handmade products to tourists as well as neighbors for weddings, rituals and festivals.
