Ceramic Tile Design: Tradition and Future

In the workshop led by ceramic artist Lütfullah Genç, the participants receive theoretical information about tile motifs and then transfer tile motifs onto biscuit ceramic tiles following the guided tour of the exhibition Souvenirs of the Future. The drawings transferred from paper to tile are glazed after the application of ceramic decoration techniques. The participants’ drawings form a collective composition in which the individual parts comprise the whole.

Note: Participants can pick up their fired ceramics from the museum one week after the workshop.
