Together with the artist Gabrielle Reeves, we examine and revisit the landscape paintings in the exhibition! Setting off from works of miniature, the participants learn how to use drawing and watercolor techniques to create their own paintings, and employ colors to create an ambience and perspective, and to evoke various sentiments. This workshop takes us on a journey to discover basic drawing and watercolor techniques as well as color theory, mixing color, and application processes. At the end, we create paintings which provide a colorful and modern rendition of miniature art.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
