Traces of the Past on Glass Bottles

Pera Adult

The workshop takes inspiration from one of the conceptual starting points of Souvenirs of the Future: "Can the future be remembered through familiar objects accumulated in the past?". Participants transform glass bottles through form reinforcement, cladding and coloring. By using upcycling and papier-mâché techniques, the bottles gain new textures and forms.

Note: Pera Learning will provide glass bottles, participants are welcome to bring the ones they want to transform.

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
