Patterns Woven on Canvas

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • February 1, 2025 / 10:30

Children transfer the world of Calculations and Coincidences, which creates patterns with colors and shapes, onto their canvases. The workshop, led by Pley Studio, combines the artistic practices of three female pioneers of algorithmic art with inspiration from the traditional craft of hand weaving. Children first make holes in their canvases by creating computational gaps, then thread colored threads and fabrics through the holes and tie knots. At the end of the workshop, children create their woven works on canvas.

Instructor: Pley Studio
Capacity:
10 people
Duration:
90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

About Pley Studio
Pley is a creative design studio that is based on the concept of playfulness. Aiming to help people stretch possibilities and enter the magical circle—namely, a free and playful state of mind—Pley uses open-mindedness as a tool. Addressing the concept of 'homo ludens,' which advocates that humans are playful beings, Pley serves as a guide to the game, appealing to both children and adults who engage in play.

Nudes With Mirrors

Nudes With Mirrors

Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet. 

History of a Khanjar

History of a Khanjar

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
