Tile Making: Blue-White Style

Inspired by tile motifs that carry traces of the past and designed in line with the conceptual framework of the exhibition Souvenirs of the Future, this workshop offers participants an experience where they can apply traditional techniques with today's materials. Led by ceramic artist Cansu Sakız, participants in the workshop draw inspiration from contemporary works featuring cobalt blue, commonly used in Kütahya tiles. They then learn about the blue and white tile style and bring their designs to life on ceramic bisques by transferring patterns, embellishing with a brush, and using coloring techniques.

Note: Participants can pick up their fired ceramics from the museum one week after the workshop.
