| Art Profile |
: |
Felt-makers today struggle to survive despite the cultural and historical importance of felt in Turkey. There are only 20 felt-makers in Anatolia now: most work in commercial production. The Cön family tries to enliven felt at their workshops and to introduce it to the tourists visiting them in Tire, Izmir. |
