Great fun and experience of the crafts of the region - What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with two masterful potters. You see so much pottery in the region and attempting to make your own, really gives you insight into just how skilled they are. They are warm and welcoming and give you protective clothing before you start so no need to worry about keeping your clothes clean. You are guided all the way with ready hands to ensure that you end up with reasonable end product. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

Great Experience Learning How to Make Pottery! - The pottery class was excellent! The hosts were so nice and organized a taxi for me there and back and told me about everything going on in Avanos and about how their family has owned the pottery shop for decades. It was easy to do and you had the option to take home the item you made, or if you’re staying in cappadocia for a couple days they can cook it and let you paint it. It was a wonderful experience

Great Experience! - This pottery class experience was the best! They made sure to send a driver directly to us for pickup and to have a driver drop us back at our hotel. They were very friendly and talented, offered us apple tea and helped us sculpt our masterpieces to perfection. Small class, 4 of us made for lots of time for each person to get special attention without being in a rush. Enjoyed shopping in their store for some small handcrafted goods to take home. Only wish is that there were an option or recommendations for painting the pot/vase after.
