Children explored İzmir's cultural heritage with block printing and mosaic workshops

Block printing and mosaic workshops were organized by the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality at the İzmir Museum Ships in İnciraltı within the scope of the Turkey Culture Route Festival. During the events attended by students from Tire 15 Temmuz Şehitleri Secondary School, children created their own designs using wooden printing blocks and experienced traditional arts hands-on.

Students from Tire 15 Temmuz Şehitleri Secondary School participated in the events held at the İzmir Museum Ships in İnciraltı by the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality's Cultural Heritage Management and Promotion Branch Office. While creating their own designs using wooden printing blocks, the students had the opportunity to get to know the cultural heritage extending from İzmir's ancient name Smyrna to the block printing tradition of Basmane.
