Block Printing and Natural Dyeing Atelier
Syrian, Iraqi and host community women have been developing their skills on block printing, sewing, hand embroidery as well as creating a fusion of traditional design and modern, sleek design.
Even practiced by ancient civilizations, block printing was once a prominent handicraft in Anatolia practiced by many families as a small business. Today, since digital printing replaced block printing, this traditional handicraft is going into oblivion. With a vision to rejuvenate this ancient handicraft, the atelier’s women artisans learned this handicraft from its experienced artisan trainer and practice traditional techniques with precision.
