DIFFICULT JOURNEY (Trabzon Wicker)

Wicker art is quite developed in Trabzon. In fact, Trabzon has long been etched in memories as the place where the art of wickerwork was born and raised. Female knitting masters, whose numbers have decreased on the fingers of one hand today, continue their work to keep the art alive. Wicker Art, which is losing blood day by day like every other handicraft, has been in high demand in recent years. The art of wicker embroidery is knitted by women from Trabzon. Wicker, which means silver wire embroidery art in short, is known as the combination of small motifs created by bending the silver cast into thin wire and is an art based on hand workmanship. Objects, mirrors, trays, belts, earrings, necklaces and Wicker Sets can be made with Trabzon Wicker. Artuqid Filigree attaches importance to hand workmanship because Wicker is among the Arts that are about to be Forgotten.

The art of Filigree, in which gold and silver are processed stitch by stitch, is trying to survive, like every other handicraft. The masters of the art, whose living space has become smaller due to industrialization in the jewelry sector, have managed to carry wicker embroidery to this day. Mardin Midyat is considered one of the centers where Trabzon Filigree art is kept alive because you can get it handcrafted here.
