Sri Lanka’s traditional craft traditions, Kandy’s lacquer work and silver, Galle’s lace making, Dumbara’s woven mats, Ambalangoda’s mask carving, and the batik and handloom traditions of the south, are most meaningfully experienced in working studios rather than souvenir shops. Ceylon Travel Escapes arranges visits to craftspeople whose skills are the real inheritance of their specific regional tradition, providing context that transforms observation into genuine understanding.
