About

Micha and Atalia - Pottery & Art Studio

In Kibbutz Kalia, in the magical Dead Sea landscapes, the couple Micha and Atalia live and create.

The studio is situated right in their own courtyard, but don’t let this mislead you… we’re talking about a spacious studio, full of good things.

Works of art and creativity – the fruit of their own hands – together with the purity of pottery, are presented to those interested in just looking, or in buying. Throughout, you will hear explanations of the story behind the art. 

Micha and Atalia soak up their inspiration from the Dead Sea and, because of their love of the area, they use natural materials straight from the wildness of Nature surrounding them.

From among their creations, you will find a wide range of uses. These extend from decorative items for enhancing the home and work environment, to functional articles such as crockery.

Each pottery item undergoes meticulous, professional firing that ensures the highest quality and durability.

The highlight is a combination of workshops and creation under the guidance of Micha and Atalia, based on advance booking.

Come and experience the wonder of creation!

Karma Studio for Macramé

Hi! I’m Irit from Neot HaKikar - the macramé studio is in my backyard.                                           I design and create macramé jewelry with an influence from the desert  environment where I grew up, and inspiration from East Asia, where I’ve  traveled. I create decorative and useful macramé and hold workshops to transfer  my knowledge and love of the art. The workshops are customized and built  according to the group (couple, family, group of 10 participants). No prior  experience is necessary. At the end of the two-hour workshop, you’ll leave with  something you created!  Book in advance.  A little bit about me... I was born in Moshav Neot HaKikar in the south of the  Dead Sea, famous for its beautiful marl rock formations and amazing desert  landscapes. There were always creative materials in my parents’ house. Since I  can remember, I’ve always loved to create things with different materials. I was  mainly attracted to threads and beads, which is how I came to fall in love with  macramé.

Moshe Novomeysky Visitor Center

Near Highway 90 in the south of the Dead Sea on your way to a perfect vacation in the  Dead Sea, Judean Desert or Eilat, you’ll encounter a fascinating story about the vision,  determination, and entrepreneurship of a Zionist pioneer with a dream to develop  industry in the Land of Israel. A story that is not recounted enough as it constitutes a  central part of the Zionist ethos and the renewal of the Jewish home in the Land of Israel.  The visitor center preserves and restores the Palestine Potash Company, which  was active from 1934 until the early 1950s, and the worker’s camps of the company  plants.  You’ll see up close the way of working and living in this isolated part of the  country, and the vision and determination of people who not only dreamed, but  also executed their plans despite the difficulties.  The visitor center tour is led by a guide. During the tour, you’ll pass through  several of the camp’s structures, which have been restored, adapted, and made  accessible to those with limited mobility.  You’ll start in the Dead Sea model hall, an innovative and spectacular model that  illustrates the formation of the Dead Sea rift and the many unique features which  have attracted people to its shores over the millennia.  You’ll then continue on to the dining hall of the worker’s camp. The structure has  been restored and here you’ll meet Moshe Novomeysky, a mining engineer born  in Siberia who first arrived on the Dead Sea’s shores in 1911, and founded the  Palestine Potash Company in 1929.  Later on, with the help of virtual reality glasses, you’ll be able to enter into the  worker’s camp when it was most crowded and truly feel immersed in the history  of the place and the worker’s daily lives.  You’ll learn about the staff’s heroic struggle during the War of Independence,  and the camp’s continuation after the war.  The tour will conclude with explaining the importance of Dead Sea mineral  extraction, highlighting the activity of current Dead Sea plants and the fine line  between environmental conservation and economic development.  The visitor center is accessible to those with limited mobility.
