Kahramana Tunis Lodge in Fayoum Tunis Village
In the small hamlet, “Tunis”, there is Evelyn, a Swiss potter who decided to live and work from around 40 years. She uses a variety of different clay types and glazes. Evelyn, exports her art around the world. She has established a pottery school for children who make beautiful designs, primarily of animals in warm earth tone glazes. The school teaches many of the local village youth pottery as an art, and not as a craft. Some of the pottery school students have even displayed their work outside Egypt. The school attracts and hosts potters from Egypt and all over the world. The Tunis pottery is more “up market” and “arty”. It is sold in galleries and craft shops in neighborhoods of Cairo where there is a high concentration of well to-do Egyptian and foreign residents.
