What to do and see in Peru, Peru: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

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.
