“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…”

“This was a great experience. I’ve done a pottery workshop and didn’t enjoy it in the past, but the experience here was totally different. Loved it. Major downside I didn’t foresee, you don’t get to take your work with you because it takes rather long to dry, their method uses ambient temperature drying and they don’t go the firing route. The pottery class part do it only covered maybe 25% of our time at this venue. The rest of the time was spent in their ceramics gallery. Quite beautiful. Lovely experience. Place was easy to find on maps.”

“READ. This tour group completely misrepresents what they offer to their customers. Given the title, steep price, and description which literally says “you will try to make your own pottery,” my group or 5 was expecting a pottery class. Instead it was just a ridiculously expensive 15 minute tour with extremely pushy salesmen who take the overly-friendly approach. After a quick intro and some tea, one person in our group was able to demo and play with clay for 5 minutes. Next, after an overview of the process we were brought into the pottery room where everything was extremely expensive. The large pottery looked beautiful however the “more affordable” pottery…”
