IN an age of air-fryers and non-stick pans, the Penang Hindu Association (PHA) is bringing the spotlight back to a centuries-old cooking method while inviting the public to get their hands dirty in the process.
At this year’s George Town Heritage Celebration (GTHC), visitors can revisit the art of claypot making at PHA’s booth, where traditional Indian pottery will be on display and in action.
“This is the 10th consecutive year that we are participating in the GTHC,” said PHA president Datuk P Murugiah.
Among the activities at the booth is a live pottery workshop where visitors can try their hand at making claypots and walk away with a memorable experience. In addition, visitors can get creative by painting claypots under the guidance of experts. Traditional clay-crafted kitchenware will also be on display, alongside a photo booth to capture that perfect moment where heritage meets modernity.
