Designs Beyond Time with Ceramic Dough

Throughout history, weights used in Anatolia for everyday purposes and shopping carry the spirit of their time. How did you design your personal weight with the spirit of today?

Participants will visit The Art of Weights and Measures with a guide and examine the weights used by merchants who lived in Anatolia in the past, and learn about the practices and stories of people in different geographies who tried to understand the world through the acts of measuring and weighing. Then, inspired by the weights depicting mythical figures, animals and urban stories of the period, participants design weights that reflect today's icons from ceramic clay dough.
