Have you heard of the different names Istanbul had in different periods? Did you know that there is a legend about how the Bosphorus was formed? In this workshop, we hear the story about how Istanbul was first established and study the structures that still stand from Constantinople, the city of Constantine. After participating in a guided 3D tour of our exhibition, we create our mosaic using clay after being inspired by the mosaics, made of small, beautifully colored, shiny tiles, adorning the Byzantine palaces. This workshop teaches us about the Byzantine history and art and helps us develop our dexterity and imagination.
