Cappadocia Art & Craft Center

The Cappadocia Art & Craft Center serves as a comprehensive showcase of the region's diverse artistic traditions, bringing together skilled artisans from various disciplines under one
roof. Located in Ürgüp, this expansive facility features workshops and retail spaces for pottery, carpet weaving, jewelry making, leather crafting, and traditional Turkish arts like marbling (ebru) and calligraphy.

The center was established to preserve and promote the traditional crafts of Cappadocia while providing economic opportunities for local artisans. Visitors can observe master craftspeople at work in their individual studios, participate in hands-on workshops, and purchase authentic handmade items directly from the creators. The center also hosts cultural events, art exhibitions, and educational programs that help visitors understand the historical and
cultural significance of each craft. 

Their retail section offers one of the most comprehensive collections of authentic Cappadocian handicrafts, from intricately designed ceramics and handwoven textiles to
precious stone jewelry and leather goods, all certified as genuine local products.
