Experience to repeat
We love it!
We were kindly welcomed by a mentor, with a Turkish tea and endless conversation, while the teacher prepared our olaria session.
While we were doing our plays, the instructor explained the origin of the activity, historical facts and history behind the family that welcomed us at the session. Subsequently, we visited the atelier of the family, noticing the different forms, materials and techniques used over time.
We love the experience!

Very Disappointing Private Lesson Experience
Booked a private 2-hour lesson here expecting to actually learn something properly… but it ended after about 15 minutes.
At first I honestly thought they were joking when they said that was it. Unfortunately, they weren’t.
Pretty frustrating experience, especially since the duration was clearly advertised as two hours (and it's expensive.) I planned my time around it and was really looking forward to the session, so this was a big letdown.
Wouldn’t recommend based on this experience.

Stunning experience
As soon as we arrived they offered us a hot tea and then we held the workshop creating the ceramics with our own hands which we were then able to take home. The very kind owner made us take the tour for their family muesum full of history and incredible works that conveys the passion for the tradition of ceramics. Beautiful experience really recommended to get in touch with one of the most beautiful traditions of Capadocia!

Tarkan is a guide...
Tarkan is an exceptional guide. He passed on to us with passion, kindness and great kindness the techniques as well as the history of Cappadocia pottery.
The studio is beautiful, and the works on display are just as beautiful. We had the chance to try to make our own pottery, then paint on specially designed supports.
We had an absolutely wonderful time, both rewarding and friendly.
A huge thank you, Tarkan, for this wonderful experience.
