Finally in our new shop
After alot of work to transform this empty space in a gallery workshop..we are ready to start felting again. Thanks to Mehmet's sons Mustafa and Sahli (and a bunch of other guys)..we organized this space quickly. We are ready for workshops here, we will be hosting agroup of students from Poland next week. Our neighbors here are happy to see us working and tourists are slowly finding us. We are still trying to figure out how to set up the galery space upstairs but for now we have things in the big glass window for folks to enjoy.
We hope people will stop in when they are visiting Istanbul or plan to organize a felt class here. We are open to 1-8 students depending on the project size.
