Dilakshiya Pottery

Then, at Fox Jaffna, find the works of Sri Lanka’s first modern art collective housed in a war-era bunker. A second bunker near the restaurant is a museum of sorts illustrating Jaffna’s history and traditions. For something hands-on, spend a few hours behind the potter’s wheel at Dilakshiya (from Rs 2000), a fourth generation pottery studio.
