### Highlights
A new generation of artisans is reviving endangered sacred arts, like the traditional Sindhi kashikari ceramics, by studying in London. Ghulam Hyder Daudpota, a talented Pakistani ceramicist, transformed his life through a scholarship at the King’s Foundation school of traditional arts. He now employs many people in his workshop in Nasarpur, helping to preserve and promote their rich cultural heritage.
