Through crafts, the workshop aims to motivate these young people and show them that they are not alone during these difficult times.

As part of the event, a series of workshops will be held to promote Kütahya’s arts and crafts, recognized as a UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art in 2017. The workshops will take place at the Crafts and Folk Art Experiencing Mansion within Kütahya Municipality.
On the first day, participants will shape ceramic clay on a wheel and paint ceramic biscuits. The second day will feature knitting with rope and crochet, and the third day will focus on making felt accessories.
These workshops offer children the chance to explore the city’s craft heritage, using their creativity and skills. By creating their own pieces with master craftsmen, they will better understand Kütahya’s cultural industries and contribute to the city’s artistic legacy.
