Summary:
This was BY FAR the best experience we had in Cappadocia… I maybe even one of the best experiences we have EVER had on a trip! The family-run business has such a special feel and learning about their lineage and how they have passed the craft down through generations was inspirational and made the workshop even more authentic. Even with no past art skills, our pieces turned out beautiful thanks to the help and guidance we received while creating our vases. There are so many options that you can choose from to create, including options to paint the pieces or add 3D aspects. We walked out with the pieces we made and on the transport back to our hotel we were shown where the different types of clay they use is sourced from. It is a unique and incredible experience that you MUST add to your itinerary if you are planning a trip to Cappadocia!

Our pottery master was wonderful! He was very patient and a very good communicator on how to make a beautiful piece! If you plan to paint it expect 3-4 hrs from pick up to finish.
