Pottery Square: Where Clay, Culture, and Awareness Meet

Imagine stepping into a sunlit courtyard where clay pots dry in neat rows, potters spin their wheels with practiced rhythm, and the smell of fresh earth lingers in the air. That’s Pottery Square in Bhaktapur; it’s a place where tradition, patience, and craftsmanship come alive.

Why Pottery Square Matters for Nurses

Pottery Square isn’t just a beautiful space. It’s a reminder of how culture shapes daily life and how important it is for nurses to slow down, observe, and connect without assumptions.

• Artisans work with simple tools but extraordinary skill

• Generations pass down knowledge through practice, not textbooks

• Community, creativity, and tradition are woven into everyday routines

For many nurses, this can become a moment of unexpected reflection:
What assumptions do we carry about our patients’ lives, knowledge, or beliefs?

Learning in Context

During our Cultural Competence CE Course, Pottery Square becomes an outdoor classroom. Surrounded by history and artistry, we experience how culture influences perspective, and how awareness of our own biases improves patient care.

More Than a Visit: A Shift in Perspective

You leave Pottery Square with more than photos. You leave with:

• A deeper appreciation for cultural humility

• A fresh understanding of how people learn, work, and create

• A renewed intention to approach patients with curiosity, not assumptions

Bhaktapur teaches these lessons naturally, one handmade pot at a time.
