Beskrivning
Join a pottery workshop in Cappadocia and learn about the region's pottery traditions. Watch a master potter at work, then shape your own piece of pottery with step-by-step guidance.
Discover one of Cappadocia’s oldest traditions with a short, hands-on pottery experience. For thousands of years, potters in the region have shaped the red clay of the Kızılırmak, Turkey’s longest river, into bowls, jugs, and vases. This craft goes back to the Hittites and is still passed down from master to apprentice today.
Make your own way to the workshop in Avanos, Ortahisar, or Göreme, depending on availability. Upon arrival, be welcomed with a glass of traditional Turkish tea.
First, watch a master potter at work. See how a simple lump of clay is shaped on the potter’s wheel into a finished piece within minutes, and learn a little about the history of pottery in Cappadocia and the traditional Hittite-style designs still made in the region.
Then it’s your turn. Sit at the wheel and, with step-by-step help from the master, shape your own small piece of pottery. No experience is needed; the master guides you throughout and helps you along the way. It’s a fun and relaxed activity and a nice chance to take photos and videos.
Best of all, you can take the piece you made home with you free of charge, as a personal souvenir of your time in Cappadocia.
After your session, you’re welcome to look around the workshop’s shop, where handmade plates, vases, bowls, and decorative pieces are displayed. Shopping is completely optional, and guests who wish to buy something receive a special discount through our agency.
