About This Activity

Discover the vibrant traditions of Turkish ceramic art on this hands-on workshop set in the enchanting atmosphere of Antalya’s Old Town. This immersive experience is perfect for anyone who loves art, culture, and hands-on activities. Learn how centuries-old pottery techniques are still practiced today, from shaping the clay to painting intricate patterns. The workshop is led by skilled local artisans who share their knowledge and expertise, guiding you step-by-step in creating your own ceramic masterpiece. Not only will you leave with a beautiful creation, but you will also gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry behind Turkish ceramics.

Antalya, with its rich history and cultural heritage, offers the perfect backdrop for this unique workshop. As you explore the Old Town, you'll be surrounded by beautiful Ottoman architecture, narrow cobblestone streets, and ancient landmarks. Your workshop takes place in a local studio that specializes in traditional ceramic techniques that have been passed down for generations. During your session, you'll get the chance to try your hand at creating your own piece of art, which you can proudly take home as a souvenir. The workshop offers a wonderful balance of learning, creativity, and cultural immersion.

This tour is designed to give you everything you need for an unforgettable experience. Included in the tour is a guided workshop where you'll be taught the basics of ceramic pottery-making. All necessary materials, such as clay and paints, are provided to help bring your artistic vision to life. You’ll also receive expert instruction from experienced artisans who will walk you through the pottery-making process, from shaping the clay to applying decorative patterns. Plus, once your masterpiece is finished, you’ll have the option to fire it and pick it up after a few days, ensuring your creation is preserved and ready for display.

While the workshop itself is fully included in the package, there are a few items that are not covered by the price. Please note that any additional purchases of materials or pre-made ceramic pieces from the studio are not included. Additionally, while the price of the workshop covers all the necessary supplies for creating your own piece, any optional extras such as shipping or specialized services will be at an extra cost. Entrance fees to nearby attractions or other activities in the Old Town are not included in the price of this tour, so plan accordingly if you wish to explore more of the area after the workshop.

This tour is designed for anyone interested in hands-on art experiences, and it’s suitable for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re an experienced artist or someone with no previous pottery experience, you’ll find the workshop enjoyable and educational. Please be aware that the studio may not be fully accessible for individuals with mobility challenges. If you have any special requirements or concerns, it’s a good idea to check with the tour provider beforehand to ensure the experience will be suitable for you. Comfortable clothing is recommended, as you may get your hands (and clothes) a bit dirty while working with the clay.

Before booking, please be aware that some fees, such as for optional extras like glazing or shipping, may be added at the time of the workshop. These additional costs will be clearly noted on your voucher, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. As for the ceramic pieces, you may need to return to the studio to collect your finished artwork a few days after the workshop, as the firing process takes time. This tour is ideal for those who are eager to learn something new, explore the local culture, and create a personal memento of their travels in Antalya.
