Visit to Cappadocia ceramic workshop and carpet store

You will enjoy watching ceramic making and women weaving carpets. You can also try making ceramics.
If you like shopping and want to see traditional products from all over Cappadocia and Turkey, you may be interested in this shopping tour that will last more than 2 hours.
Cappadocia is located on the famous Silk Road and has been a major trade center for centuries.
Hittites, Assyrians, Greeks, Arabs, Jews and Turks carried out commercial activities in this region, making Cappadocia one of the most popular business and trade centers in the world.
In this region, it is possible to see unique shopping venues such as carpet workshops, pottery workshops, leather workshops, as well as shopping centers where you can buy local textile, food and clothing products.

CARPET WORKSHOP: We visit a women’s co-operative carpet workshop. Unfortunately, ladies in Turkey contributes far less to the economy than men. Co-operatives enable women to be financially independent and gain self-confidence. Often the skills that they acquire are taught to them within these workshops and they are passed from one generation to another throughout the years.
Anything you might buy from these shops will help the local economy and will help those ladies become more independent.
If you don’t want to get disappointed in purchasing a carpet either by discovering that you purchased a fake, or simply by worrying that you paid too much, worry no more because we are here to get you the most reputable and trustworthy people in the market.
POTTERY WORKSHOP: Almost more than half of the workshops available in Cappadocia are family-run businesses where they perform this amazing art for centuries. Pottery art might have started in approximately 1750 B.C with Hittites in Anatolia but some families are still continue this tradition with great patience and energy. They have been getting the red clay from the Red River, which is almost 1355 km in length, and the white one from the rocky parts of Cappadocia.
During our visit, you will get to see a great demonstration of how to make a piece of pottery and if you feel like you want to give it a shot you can also try to make a pottery which will cost you nothing.
After the demonstration you will be shown hand made pieces of pottery and ceramics which are specific to the region in style and colors.
