“Throwing pots on the wheel in Avanos was the most special part of our Cappadocia trip. My vase reached Paris without a scratch. Mehmet Usta is a legend!”
“I came with my daughter and we both loved it. Our plates arrived ten days later and they look wonderful. The instructor was extremely patient with the children.”
“Learning to brew Turkish coffee on sand was the best memory of my time in Istanbul. The fortune-telling part was great fun too. Highly recommended.”
“One of the most enjoyable things I have ever done. Our perfumer explained every essence one by one and never rushed us. Walking out with my own scent was incredible.”
“The olive oil tasting was genuinely educational and the mezze we cooked were delicious. A perfect half day in Antalya.”
“I took my lamp home the same day and it sits in the nicest corner of my living room. Everyone asks me where I got it.”
