Children who visit the Coffee Break with a guide explore the traditional motifs on ceramics inspired by nature. In the workshop, they have the opportunity to apply the repeating and symmetrical motifs found on ceramics using wooden molds. By painting the same motif in different colors, they create multiple patterns. The children begin their printing work on paper and then apply their favorite designs onto tote bags.

Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee per workshop: 200 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
