Sharing the Joy of Pottery on Koh Mak

Coral Pottery on Koh Mak is a studio dedicated to sharing the joy of pottery through hands-on learning and creative exploration. Our mission is to inspire and teach visitors of all skill levels about the art of handmade ceramics, guided by the natural beauty and culture of the island.

We offer interactive workshops—inviting guests to discover pottery techniques, work with eco-friendly materials, and connect with Koh Mak's unique environment. Every session is designed to nurture creativity, foster community, and promote sustainable practices.

Rooted in Koh Mak

Our studio is more than a place to learn pottery—it's a celebration of Koh Mak's unique spirit. The island's six pillars of simplicity, community, longevity, sustainability, innovation, and the good life infuse everything we do.

Here, the natural rhythm of island life meets the ancient art of pottery. Clay becomes a bridge between tradition and innovation, between individual creativity and collective joy.

Every piece created at Coral Pottery carries a bit of Koh Mak's magic—a reminder of the peace found when hands and heart work together with clay.
