Seminario Ceramics

Since 1979, the CERAMICAS SEMINARIO workshop has been dedicated to the research and application of techniques and designs from the ancient cultures of Peru. Pablo Seminario and Marilu Behar have created a new artistic expression that gives continuity to our cultural heritage. In 1982, they opened their workshop in the Sacred Valley of the Incas where they train local artisans that make each piece entirely by hand. The trajectory and work of Pablo and Marilu is internationally recognized, and their pieces have been acquired by well-known museums. CERAMICAS SEMINARIO invites you to visit its workshop-gallery where you can take a tour to discover the Inca and Pre-Inca techniques that we utilize to create the Pablo Seminario style of ceramics. We are located in the city of Urubamba, Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco, Peru. We also offer the possibility to be part of the workshop experience in a pre-booked ceramics class.

What a delightful place! The family history and the fact that the family still owns and operates this place makes it even more special. They make beautiful pottery and art pieces, teach others how to, and have a showroom full of amazing pieces for sale. Do yourself a favour and visit!

Pedazo de Arte

Reviewed By ihawk7 - San Jose, United States

So happy my sister and I made an effort to come back to Pedazo de Arte when it was open. We both really enjoyed this more unique souvenir shop. We had been to some of the other open souvenir markets in Cusco but felt that they were very overwhelming and most of the shops /stalls had the same exact items for sale. I would say that Pedazo de Arte has more of a variety of items, more artsy items, and handcrafted items. I highly recommend this store.

ALQA - Gallery of Andean Expressions

ALQA is an art gallery focused on the conservation and dissemination of the traditional artistic expressions of the indigenous high andean communities. Our work not only represents an exquisite curation, but also a meticulous research that allows, through a considerable historical and social burden, to create a chain of relationships between all the pieces on exhibition, allowing the recontextualization and recovery of them in order to reinforce and place value on the cultural identity of the artists and their communities of origin.

You've got to check out ALQA Gallery if you're in Ollantaytambo! The staff there is so very friendly. The vibe is chill, no one is there to push any sales on you. They have beer on tap to sip while you explore the wide variety of artwork and hand made goods sourced from Andean towns and villages located throughout the Sacred Valley. They have one of a kind photographic prints, sculptures, beautifully made hats and much more!
