Sigatoka Town, Viti Levu, Fiji: Lawai Village/"Pottery Village"; things to do

Lawai Village/"Pottery Village" 

1 mile from town. 

Situated on the Sigatoka River here for more than 1,000 years, Lawai Village/"Pottery Village" was once the richest village in Fiji. Residents make authentic Fijian pottery using no wheels, just hands, and sell it to visitors. I bought a pig family composed of one mama pig and four piglets as a souvenir and just adore displaying it in my kitchen and playing with them. A visit includes dancing—don’t miss the ladies’ fan dance--and singing by villagers.
