Wood Carving Workshop

Step into the world of traditional Sri Lankan wood carving in the historic city of Polonnaruwa. Wood has long been considered a living, meaningful material in Sri Lankan culture, and for centuries skilled artisans have transformed it into sacred statues, protective figures, temple decorations, and intricate ornamental designs. 

This craft is more than decoration — it is a tradition deeply connected with spirituality, storytelling, and heritage.

At our workshop, you can watch experienced local craftsmen at work, using techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. See how simple pieces of wood become detailed sculptures full of character and cultural symbolism.

We also offer a hands-on workshop experience, where visitors can try wood carving themselves under the guidance of our artisans. It's a unique opportunity to connect with local traditions, learn about the meaning behind the designs, and create a small handmade souvenir to take home.

A visit to our workshop is not just shopping — it's a chance to experience a living Sri Lankan tradition with your own hands.
