Kazuri Beads & Pottery Centre

An interesting diversion in Karen, this craft center was started by an English expat in 1975 as a place where single mothers could learn a marketable skill and achieve self-sufficiency. From humble beginnings, the workforce has grown to over 100. A free tour takes you into the various factory buildings, where you can observe the process from the molding of raw clay to the glazing of the finished products.

There's also a gift shop with fixed prices.
