We’ve wrapped up our two-week workshop with an incredibly talented group of women artisans in Hatay, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created together!

These women have been through so much during and after the devastating earthquake, yet their creativity, strength, and determination continue to inspire us. Together, we explored new ideas, experimented with colors and designs, and created beautiful handmade crafts that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Hatay.

More than a workshop, this was a time to learn from one another, share stories, build confidence, and imagine new opportunities through traditional crafts and contemporary design.

A heartfelt thank you to all the amazing women who shared their talents and enthusiasm, and to everyone who helped make this workshop possible. This is just the beginning! Claire Loren Burkert Antioch Art

An American in Istanbul with the soul of an anthropologist and the eye of a storyteller…Walter Meyer’s journey through Anatolian/international art is a moving reminder that culture transcends borders.From Bedri Rahmi’s yazmaz to contemporary Turkish and international artists, his “accidental collection “ is really a collection of human stories. You can read more about Walter’s journey to collecting art at Duygu Yılmaz ‘s in depth interview in sanatokur.com on May 6.

Thank you LA Atatürk Cultural Center for the remarkable “Yadigar” project and exhibition showcasing Anatolian ceremonial costumes and Turkish kilim weaving workshop.
We would also like to thank our Didem Maurice for generously sharing her great grandfather’s tailed tuxedo he wore to the opening of the first Grand National Assembly of the new Turkish Republic in 1920 and her great grandmother’s wedding gown. Both pieces added a deeply personal touch to the exhibition.
Congratulations to all involved for working hard for this outstanding event.

Selvedge Magazine featuring The Sultan’s Garden: The Blossoming of Ottoman Art written by Walter Denny and Sumru Krody to accompany the 2012 Textile Museum incredible exhibition of the same title. It is described as “..is an exploration of how a dynasty translated political authority into botanical form, transforming flowers into an imperial language of power, taste and cultural self-fashioning.” Great reading.
