Art from the Red River

Avanos is famous for its pottery tradition that has continued since the Hittites. The tuffaceous clay brought by the Red River turns into works of art in master hands.

When you come here, don't just watch, try to sit at the pottery wheel and make your own work.

  • Examine works made of red clay.
  • Listen to the techniques from the masters.
  • Learn the meanings of traditional motifs.
