Pottery in Cappadocia

Turkey is filled with beautiful, hand-painted pottery in stunning colors and designs.



 

 
 
Ben actually prefers the designs that are less colorful. I believe they're Hittite designs, but I can't remember for sure. We bought a vase and plate similar to the pattern on the ones in the far right of this picture.
 
 
We were able to watch a potter at his wheel...which he spun with one leg while shaping the vase. It was pretty cool.
 

Then, he offered us a chance to try. Lizzy, Alex, and even Ben gave it a shot. They had fun and did a pretty good job.
