Ceramic Tile Workshop: Tradition and Future

What do the symbols on the tile motifs mean? Why are geometric patterns used on tiles? In the workshop led by ceramic artist Lütfullah Genç, participants receive theoretical knowledge about tile motifs and then use ceramic tiles and tile motif templates. The motifs transferred from paper to tile are glazed after applying ceramic decoration techniques. Participants' designs form a collective composition where individual pieces combine to create a whole.

Note: Participants can pick up their fired ceramics from the museum one week after the workshop.
