• 19 Mayıs Caddesi - You will visit me at my home in central Istanbul. First, we will have some Turkish tea and get to know each other. After that, I will give you some information about history of Turkish Carpets, methods of Turkish Carpet making, where in Turkey it is more popular for Carpet making.

After that, I will introduce you with the tools we will use. You will choose the types and colors of the yarn you wish to use to make your carpet. After a 3 hour process of making the carpet, you will either have carpet ready to hang or you will know how to complete the carpet without me as you will have a great knowledge on how to make the carpet yourself.

In addition to learning how to make the carpet, you will also learn how it is to live in Istanbul from the eye of a student. I will share with you local life and cultures and try to learn your culture.

So, come as a guest, leave as a friend!

• Carpet Making Equipment
• Tea and coffee

Anyone can visit a carpet store in Istanbul and purchase a Turkish Carpet. While Turkish Carpets are unique and special, I truly believe that creating your own carpet and learning the art of making a Turkish Carpet offers a more authentic and unique way to experience the city and its culture.

When you come to my home to learn how to craft a small Turkish Carpet, you’ll engage in a mutual exchange of knowledge and cultures. I’ll ensure you experience the renowned hospitality of Turkish people, and I look forward to learning about your culture during this exchange.
