Visit The National Centre for Khmer Ceramic Revival – NCKCR

  • Book Now

Visit our centre and you will be fascinated by the many activities taking place, and we encourage you to try your hand at the potter's wheel! The NCKCR and its young Khmer students are passionate about bringing about a full revival of the ancient skills and recreating traditional, high quality, Khmer ceramics for the benefit of future generations. We wish to share this passion with you - its infectious!

Our trainees will give you a fully guided tour with explanations and demonstrations of all stages and processes involved in turning raw clay in to a full finished, fired and glazed Khmer ceramic of beauty and utility. After which we invite you to browse in our show room and relax in the beautiful tropical garden setting.

Our several kilns are all faithful reconstructions of ancient traditional Khmer Kiln types based on proven archaeological discoveries, and are of great interest and fascination to most people; especially so if your visit coincides with the regular firing of one of the kilns. These kilns operate at very high temperatures, between1,000 ۫ C to 1,400 ۫C (1,800 F to 2,550 F). Please join in and help us "fire" a kiln - an impressive and awe inspiring activity and highly photogenic!

Visiting the NCKCR is a "must" whilst in the Angkor region as it brings you closer to the true Khmer spirit and gives you a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Khmer ceramic arts and heritage, so sadly lost, but now making a slow renaissance through our work and research.
