Fun cultural experience for all ages! - Such a fun way to experience the local culture! They were so helpful in explaining and demonstrating the technique to myself, my husband, and our 10 year old daughter - none of us had ever tried making pottery before. We all made something different and get to take home unique souvenirs! We were worried about how to the get the pottery home, but it air dried in our hotel for a few days and then packed nicely in bubble wrap (which they provided for us). They gave the option to fire it, but needed 5-10 days after class, which we did not have in our trip. Overall, highly recommend this experience!

Amazing - You should do it +++. They are really nice, friendly and give good explanations. You can come back home with your potery and they take pictures of you for memories. They even help me to get my bus for coming back to Goreme. Perfect 1000/10 !!!

Brilliant - Such a fun experience!! The staff were lovely and welcoming, they also made sure we had plenty of photos and videos of us in the moment. There were two wheels and two of us so was practically a private class. It was our first experience of the wheel and they explained and helped to make sure it was a success. One of us made a vase and one of us made a cup. We got to take our work home to dry, so I recommend not doing on a travel day

Pottery for two! - The most calm and comfortable experience! We had lots of fun and definitely laughed a few times! I would recommend this activity for couples or small groups. The history behind the making of pottery and how it’s a family run business was just heart warming! Please go! You won’t regret it!!

A nice change of pace - If you have until you're exhausted, have enjoyed the historical size until your brain cannot receive more information, and you are ready for a change of pace, this might be an excellent option for you. With the help of a knowledge of Potter, you will create your own Small peas. It can be a cup, a flower pot, or so many other things. We found it to be a really nice change of activity level.

Super fun & relaxed pottery workshop - Had SUCH a wonderful experience here! The master potter was very friendly and helpful, and he and his friend made the workshop a funny and relaxed experience. Felt very comfortable as a solo female as well, would 100% go again!

Good. Just fine. - They attended us well, very friendly, they also took our photos while we worked the ceramics, and for the price taking the vessel is fine, but we were the last shift of 19hs and therefore they did it short and fast, in half an hour we were out. The vessels were made more by the instructor than us, we could not experience much. Being winter they did not offer to keep them to dry we took it wet. Later, when it was dry and checked, we realized that the bottle we had made was missing the bottom, when it had been the instructor himself who took it off the lathe, they never realized in the process so that we could correct it. Nice as an experience but not excellent.

Fun 20 minutes - We had a great time with Davut and Mustafa but just as a heads up the class lasts about 20 minutes... You are then free to go risk around and come back to pick up your handiwork in an hour. Would have helped to know this so we planned our day accordingly.
