Private Pottery Making Course

We visited Clay of Cappadocia in June 2026 with our 8-year-old son, who had never tried pottery before. He made a vase that we brought back to the United States. Our son enjoyed the workshop so much that he begged to return the next day, but we already had other plans. To make up for that, we attended a workshop when we returned to the United States. It was 5 times more expensive and had less one-on-one instructor time. If you are into pottery or thinking about trying it, this place is a good value and a great experience for all ages.

Great experience. Master pottery maker was wonderful explaining what to do. Loves our whole time there

This pottery workshop with Metin at the Kapadokya Comleksilik shop was easily one of the highlights of our time in Cappadocia. Metin is an excellent teacher: patient, welcoming, and clearly passionate about his craft. Even as beginners, we felt comfortable from the start, and he guided us step-by-step in creating our own pottery on the wheel. What makes this experience even more special is that it doesn’t end with shaping the clay. After creating your piece, you also get the chance to draw and paint pottery designs the same day, adding your own personal touch and creativity to the experience. It was both relaxing and incredibly fun. The shop itself is also worth visiting. There are three separate rooms filled with beautifully painted ceramic pottery, showcasing stunning craftsmanship and traditional designs. Walking through these rooms really gives you an appreciation for the artistry and history behind the work. Overall, this experience feels authentic and personal rather than touristy. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this workshop offers a memorable cultural experience and a unique souvenir you create yourself. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cappadocia!

We were welcomed by Mr. Text, the host of his ceramic workshop, and we appreciate his warm conversation and kindness with the kids. It was a fun and enjoyable activity for our kids, a must-stay for both the pottery workshop and ceramic shopping. Thank you very much for everything!

What a fabulous experience! Metin was so lovely, he pickup us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Goreme. He showed us each how to make a item, I made a vase and hubby made a bowl. He showed us step by step how make it, then wrapped it up for us to take home. His family has a shop where you can also purchase items, we got some cool little coffee cups and a plate. Highly recommend this tour

They were very interested. We learned and loved it. It was a nice experience. We made 3 pair. We had the pottery included in our wifeyes and they did the heating. It was a good memory when we came up with a family masterpiece. Thank you.

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!

Metin is a master 4th generation potter, it was a privilege to spend time with him, we also met his father and his family. It's hard to overstate how nice Metin and his family are, and they make this experience unique and one not to miss.

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.

Very nice place Mr. Text took very good care of us and it was very nice to have him communicate with the kids and our kid had a different and beautiful experience and we left very happy Recommendation.
