Dza-zo: Bhutanese village is preserving its traditional pottery-making culture

Nov 18, 2023..

Bhutan's Gangzur village is trying to preserve its local pottery tradition, a part of the region's rich cultural heritage, known as Dza-zo.


Interestingly,  only three master artisans continue to uphold and pass down their exceptional skills through three generations in the area.

At the heart of this artistic legacy is Aum Zangmo, a 52-year-old artisan and the descendant of the late master potter Kuenzang Wangmo, reported The Bhutan Live.

Aum Zangmo, along with her friend Tshewang Choden, are trying to preserve the traditional art form which has shifted from one generation to another.

Aum Zangmo, following in the footsteps of her ancestors, meticulously crafts each pot, ranging from small teacups for burning incense to large vessels used for brewing the local liquor, ara, the news portal reported.

The artefacts created by her carried one unique identity that sets them apart from products manufactured in other regions of the Himalayan nation.

The popularity of Gangzur’s pottery extends beyond the village, attracting buyers from other parts of the country and even foreigners, the news portal reported.

These artefacts are purchased regularly from the artisans by certain organizations like Tarayana Foundation.
