Turkish Journey

Avanos town is located in the triangle area of the main scenic area of Cappadocia, and Turkey's longest inland river, the Red River, flows through the town center. The river water is clear, and groups of swans swim in the water. The water of the Red River is rich in iron, and the soil taken from the Red River is very suitable for making pottery, so Avanos town is famous for ceramics and is known as the hometown of ceramics. Pottery is made from the red clay in the Red River and the white clay on the mountain. We visited a local ceramic workshop to see the whole process of traditional handmade crafts such as material selection, molding, modeling, painting, glazing, and firing. Walking into the store, there are various ceramic artworks, dazzling and eye-catching, including household pottery and craft pottery. The shape of the Turkish wine pot is the most unique, and the patterns on the pottery are full of national characteristics.
