Bring the Elegance of the Past onto Your Tote Bag!
Join us for a creative workshop where traditional patterns meet modern fabric painting techniques!
You are invited to discover the Ottoman and Turkish motifs that have breathed life into our heritage for centuries—from palace fabrics and historic architecture to fine tiles and hand-woven carpets!
In this 3-hour workshop, we will combine meaningful traditional patterns with modern fabric painting techniques while exploring the rich cultural stories behind these symbols of abundance, luck, and aesthetics. You can choose from 10 carefully prepared traditional patterns to paint your tote bag, or draw inspiration from this rich heritage to create your own custom design.
Join us for an inspiring creative break filled with art, history, tea, coffee, and delicious refreshments!
