Rug workshop with the ladies from Holland. Leisbeth and Ann-Margot spent 3 days working on their Osman felt rugs here at Ikonium Studio. The rugs were initially kicked usng traditional Turkish method out in our neighborhood park with the Aya Sofia as a backdrop. The girls wee alot of fun, laughng is a good way to work through the strenuous part of making the felt. Delicious lunches made by Mehmet were a treat as always and the girls later confessed that everything else they ate while here paled in comparison!!Afiyet olsun!

We have been busy filling orders, teaching workshops and even a little vacation!!!...oh yes and we filmed a short blip for Japaneese tv. We love having students stopin from all over..we recently had Jean Sims Barlow from Colorado and Haku from Jpan. We are expecting more students in October from USA, Holland and Australia
