Footprints of thousands of years of cultures...
Turkey is home to weaving since the Neolithic period. Many archaeological findings continue to affirm this fact. The continuation of weaving by Anatolian women, even today, shows that the culture of weaving in Anatolia is very rich. ICOC Istanbul is long awaited, and the local committee is working hard to show the unseen pieces from public and private collections.
