Embroidery for Kids: Embroider the Past

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • July 27, 2023 / 10:30

Inspired by the symbols dating back thousands of years and the circular arrangement of Göbeklitepe's T-shaped obelisks, which are thought to represent the universe, children embroider archaeological motifs on fabrics stretched on circular hoops. Children have the opportunity to develop their fine motor skills while creating unique designs based on archaeology and history.

Instructor: Melike Güven
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 120 minutes
Fee per workshop: 200 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
