Discover how one of Sri Lanka's most familiar natural materials can be transformed into something beautiful and useful.

During this hands-on experience, you'll learn about the role of the coconut tree in Sri Lankan life and how coconut shells can provide a natural alternative to plastic products.

With step-by-step guidance from your team, you'll work with a reclaimed coconut shell and transform it into your own handcrafted bowl.

No previous craft-making experience is required. All materials and tools are provided.
At the end of the workshop, take the coconut-shell bowl you made home with you as your own handmade Sri Lankan keepsake.
