Pottery Anyone?

We visited the shop of master pottery artist Galip for a pottery demonstration and look at the Chez Galip’s large collection of works. Monsieur Galip speaks mainly in French (though is fluent in Turkish) and has a striking resemblance to Einstein. If you can get past the oddity of his owning the largest collection of human hair in the world (just ask Guinness!) you will see a true genius! Lucky for us, we only saw pictures of his most interesting of side hobbies.

I didn’t realize when we arrived at the workshop that Kim had come to Turkey with a singular focus of what she would be taking home. And as you are likely guessing, that item: Pottery! We walked out with a bit of a load and now need to figure out how to get it all home!

The master we watched do a demonstration was not Galileo himself, but he had been working at his craft for over 25 years!もっと詳しく
