Loved this class!
Magnificent! I highly recommend taking this pottery class. It exceeded my expectations. The family has been doing pottery for three generations and they are very knowledgeable about the history. This is a wonderful activity to do with family and you get to bring your artwork back with you!

1 hour of ceramics
We did this mini ceramics course where it is choose an object and reproduce it. That was very nice. It lasts about an hour and after creating the object you decorate it (but you do not bake or paint it). At the end the lady shows you the shop with a very interesting explanation.

Fun workshop! Shaping the...
Fun workshop! Shaping the clay then decorating the pieces took about an hour. We took them home even though they weren’t completely dry yet. They survived the trip home wrapped in bubble wrap. We enjoyed the experience.
The owner was gracious and explained a bit about the history and how artisans make the pieces. Her son was the one helping us with the pottery. The store sells beautiful hand crafted plates, bowls, vases and tiles which are stunning pieces of art.

It was a very rushed...
It was a very rushed experience, the instructor seemed annoyed that we booked it and showed up. As soon as we got there it was “ok what do you want to make?” No introduction to whom he was or what we were even going to be doing, no these are your choices in what you can make, or have a look around. It just felt overwhelming and hurried along. Got the feeling he didn’t want to be there. He left randomly and would come back. The power went out twice. It was just an interesting experience.

One of a kind ⭐️
It was an amazing experience. We had the opportunity to make our own clay pots and design them by hand with toothpicks which we could take back with us home. The hosts taught us the basics and explained the history & culture of pottery here in Cappadocia. We also bought some souvenirs as they were really pretty. Highly recommend!
Operator response

Amazing experience!
I had such a lovely visit to the ottoman art ceramic workshop on 10/05 the host were honestly so lovely and welcoming, this was my first day in cappadocia on my solo trip and my first activity and it really set the tone for my trip! Such great value for money! I was given the choice of various pieces to make and I settled on a vase, I was informed on the history of the clay and pottery in cappadocia and shown how to spin my vase on the pottery wheel, I loved my final product and was also give the option to restart if I wanted to. I was able to draw patterns on my clay and was later given a tour of the different pottery and informed on the culture behind certain pieces. I returned 2 days later as I was in the area on a tour but I wanted to stop by to buy some pieces as a token, they remembered me instantly and embraced me! I was so warmly welcomed and gifted with tokens of joy and happiness from the family for my return! I would strongly recommend coming here! They are the best in the area and make you feel like family ❤️❤️
