Cappadocia Pottery Workshop – Avanos
Overview
Avanos has been shaping the red clay of the Kızılırmak river for three thousand years, and a workshop here is a hands-on encounter with living Anatolian craft. Under the eye of a master potter your clients sit at the traditional kick-wheel and try to coax a bowl or vase from the spinning clay — harder, and far more fun, than it looks.
It is a warm, characterful hour, ideal for families and culture lovers, and guests can keep the piece they make.
