This workshop, which will be held by artist Güneş Terkol from her atelier where she works with fabrics, proceeds through the concepts of seeing, accepting and learning new experiences and possibilities. Experiencing Paula Rego's works with an online guided tour, the participants learn how both artists use weaving and create their personal compositions on fabric. In the workshop, which aims to create a safe space with the method of storytelling, each participant creates a character and transfers it to the fabric with an expression they choose.
