What do the symbols on the tile motifs mean? Why are geometric patterns used on tiles? In the workshop led by ceramic artist Lütfullah Genç, participants receive theoretical knowledge about tile motifs and then use ceramic tiles and tile motif templates. The motifs transferred from paper to tile are glazed after applying ceramic decoration techniques. Participants' designs form a collective composition where individual pieces combine to create a whole.
Note: Participants can pick up their fired ceramics from the museum one week after the workshop.

About Lütfullah Genç
Lütfullah Genç (1994, Giresun) graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramics in 2018. In 2021, he completed his master's degree at Hacettepe University with his thesis titled “Transformation of Images from Personal Memory into Art Objects.” Focusing on the notions of class, object and memory in his works, the artist approaches the illusions created by psychology in perception through the concept of object. Utilizing the tension of perception by using narrow and wide contrasts, the artist produces new media and installation-based works in which he works with different mediums, especially ceramics.
Pera Museum presents an exhibition of French artist Félix Ziem, one of the most original landscape painters of the 19th century.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
