Ottoman Art Ceramic Pottery Workshop — Local services in Avanos

The worst experience I ever had was when I took my son to a place that advertised pottery classes for kids. When my son expressed his desire to make a plate, the instructor insisted he make a cup instead. Whenever my son tried to use his imagination, the instructor aggressively intervened and changed his design. When it was my turn, my son sat on a couch and accidentally dropped the already broken piece that were left on the floor, blending in with the carpet. The instructor started yelling at my five-year-old son and demanded payment of 11,000 lira for the broken pottery, threatening to call the police. I questioned why they had left the expensive dishes in a place designated for kids without ensuring their safety. The instructor's behavior was erratic, and despite attempts by his family to calm him down, he continued to yell and use inappropriate language. Ultimately, I was forced to pay 300 USD for the broken pottery that had been irresponsibly left on the floor. This experience made it clear that this individual poses a danger to young children, and I advise other families to avoid him. It appears that they create situations to extort money...

We had the absolute pleasure of visiting Ottoman Ceramics, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we walked through the door, the friendly hosts made us feel like part of their family. Their warmth and hospitality created an atmosphere that was both welcoming and unique.

What truly stood out was how engaging they were with children—turning the visit into an entertaining and memorable experience for the little ones. The family-owned business is run by true experts in pottery, and their passion shines through in every piece they craft and every demonstration they give.

Ottoman art ceramic workshop was recommended by a friend. It is a beautiful family owned business and ran by the most beautiful and kindest mother and son (Mustafa). It was my son’s first pottery experience and he had the best teacher ever 🤗. Mustafa speaks amazing English, he was very easy to communicate & very patient. He made pottery experience more fun for my son ⭐️. The prices are so good and cheaper than we thought! The mum is the most sweetest person you will speak to. The shop also has a secret room downstairs with a magical twist, definitely recommend to visit! Thank you so much Mustafa and mother for amazing hospitality, we definitely recommend to everyone and we will definitely visit...
