WELCOME ON THE MUKISA MPEWO CLAY WORKS SITE

Presentation of the Mukisa Mpewo Clay Works project:

Mukisa Mpewo Clay Works and Handcrafts, self-sponsored project started in 1993, is an association involved in the production of traditional clay products and baskets, which has been conceived and realized by women as a way to improve their social status.
Jane Nabyonga, chairman of the project, has made many study visits abroad, specially in Peru where she explored, for 4 years, the very rich native clay works tradition.
The quality and authenticity of our products were rewarded by
A Golden Stand in the Foire de Paris 2006
