Hikaru Dorodango is a Japanese art in which clay soil is delicately and patiently processed into eye-catching spheres.

The workshop, led by Can Cumalı and Çağlar İşbilir, is open to everyone who wants to witness what a ball of mud can turn into with only hands. We will sip Cappadocian wines while revealing the sparkle of the earth, and each participant will leave the table with their own shiny earth ball.
