A loom in an old classroom

Özemek describes how the two-classroom stone school became a silk workshop. Arrange a visit directly with the weaver if seeing the loom in operation matters to you. Ask for directions from the village square.

Looking at the cloth

Ask which stages are done by hand, how the thread is coloured and how a finished piece should be washed. A visit, a hands-on lesson and shopping can require different arrangements.
