Kazuri Bead Factory & Pottery Center Tour

The Kazuri Bead factory and Pottery Center is a good stop for those interested in local crafts. The ceramic beads, pottery and leather goods are all handmade by disadvantaged women. “Kazuri” means “small and beautiful” in Swahili and was named by the founder when she started the company with just two Kenyan employees in 1975. The factory now employs more than 300 women. You can get a tour of the factory and watch the beads and pots get fired and glazed, it takes about an hour in total. In the weekends the factory/workshop may be closed, but the shop is still open, so you can purchase souvenirs. The Bead Factory is a popular stop en route to, or from, the Karen Blixen musuem, and other sights in the Karen neighborhood. Opening hours: Monday – Saturday 8.30am – 6 pm, and Sundays from 9 am – 4 pm.
