About Us
Hands-on craft experiences in the heart of Cappadocia. Small groups, local artisans, and memorable creations.
Our Story
Cappadocia Workshops grew from a simple idea: bring the hands-on craft spirit of Istanbul Workshops to the magical landscapes of Cappadocia. What started as small studio sessions in Istanbul's creative neighborhoods has expanded east, to a region where making, crafting, and sharing have been part of daily life for centuries.
We believe the best travel memories come from doing, not just seeing. That's why every workshop is designed to be welcoming, tactile, and personal, so you leave with something you made yourself and a story worth telling.
Our Artisans & Team
Our workshops are led by local artisans and experienced guides who know their craft inside out. From master mosaic makers to skilled perfumers, each instructor brings years of hands-on expertise and a genuine love for sharing their art.
Every session is kept small, typically 2 to 8 guests, so you get real guidance, not just a demonstration. Whether it's your first time or you've done workshops before, our team adapts to your pace.
Our Approach
- Hands-on making - you create, blend, brew, and finish pieces yourself
- Local craft - materials, techniques, and stories rooted in Cappadocia
- Small groups - welcoming, instructor-led sessions with room to ask and try
- Take-home creations - leave with your lamp, perfume, or a shared coffee ritual
- No experience needed - we guide every step, from start to finish

Our workshops welcome everyone:
- Solo travelers looking for a unique, meaningful experience
- Couples and friends wanting to create something together
