Hello everyone,
Thank you for accepting me on this forum!
I am Özden, based in Strasbourg, France, and am currently a textile arts teacher. I have specialised in combining embroidery and painting or knotted needle lace and painting on paper. I'm slowly but surely moving onto tezhip and hopefully miniature as well. I'm very interested in doing a PhD at the Prince's school. I look forward to exchanging with you on various miniature related subjects.
I think I must mention that I started stabbing paper with a needle after a very difficult life event and since then have been looking at the healing qualities of arts practice, from chaotic expression of grief to harmonious rendering of relief - and everything in between!
