A one-hour Cappadocia pottery class near Göreme in Avanos, with tea, an English guide, and a small-group pottery trial. $9 value.
“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.”
