The workshop is led by artist Metehan Törer, who contributes to the Souvenirs of the Future with his ceramic installation Those Born to Earth and creates ceramic figures using an autobiographical narrative style. Focusing on questions like "What is our favorite object? Why do we feel the need to collect and display certain objects?" the workshop offers participants a chance to view objects from different perspectives and explore new forms using polymer clay under the guidance of the artist.
