Avanos Pottery Workshop
Make your own pot with red clay from the Kızılırmak river under a master potter's guidance in Avanos. Fun for children and adults.
Avanos has been famous for pottery for centuries thanks to the red clay carried by the Kızılırmak river. In local workshops you can shape your own pot on a traditional foot-powered potter's wheel with a master potter.
What happens in the workshop?
The master first shows how the clay is prepared and how the wheel works, then it's your turn. In a short time you can shape a simple bowl or vase. Many workshops also explain tile painting and traditional motifs.
Who is it for?
No experience is needed; it's fun and educational for children, couples and groups. Avanos is a stop on the Red Tour, so it is easy to combine with a tour day.
