store before completing the interview. We are<br />

going into the workshop with Lori Sinanoglu<br />

and Aleksan Yoldaş. The bright, white light dominated<br />

the workshop. Aleksan Yoldaş<br />

indicates that strong white light<br />

is important for fine craftsmanship.<br />

On the bench some jewelery<br />

tools resembling a miniature<br />

carpenter's tools, some<br />

jewelery on producing stage and<br />

a piece of ebony. Aleksan Yoldaş<br />

says that production process requires<br />

as much patience as the design<br />

phase. All products are wholly handmade.<br />

We take a small piece of ebony<br />

material, and think we can make<br />

20 pieces from this material.We start<br />

to work, when the product is nearly<br />

to be finished, we met a tree vessel,<br />

so entire work is going to the<br />

trash completely. So we could only<br />

get three pieces of product instead<br />

of 20 pieces. She indicates that this<br />

job requires patience and is also arduous Lori Sinanoglu<br />

says that it represents a big chance for him<br />

to be close to the workshop environment.<br />

I think the most concrete example of the<br />

master-apprentice relationship is being experienced<br />

here. My theoretical knowledge,<br />

I learned at school, and practical knowledge<br />

of Mr. Aleksan. Every day I learn something<br />

new here. We are working with gold,<br />

it’s a very precious mine. You need<br />

to work with people you trust.<br />

So we have a relationship with<br />

Mr Aleksan without any trouble<br />

in terms of the trust<br />

‘’says Lori and adds that<br />

the workshop environment<br />

particularly attracts female<br />

customers.<br />

"First, I Should Really Like!"<br />

We asked both Lori and Aleksan<br />

about stages which the<br />

jewel passed through. Sinanoglu<br />

shares the model with his uncle,<br />

which she had designed according<br />

to the mood in<br />

that moment. The unclenephew<br />

exchange ideas<br />

If the designs are going<br />

to be implemented,<br />

and changes if<br />

they are needed.<br />

Aleksan Yoldaş<br />

is passing to design<br />

workshop<br />

with the final state<br />

of the design.<br />

A completed form of a product<br />

with stones emerges after 10 tiring<br />

days in workshop. Lori Sinanoğlu<br />

tells that she should like the products,<br />

she designed, first.. If it doesn’t happen, she<br />

can not show the product to the customer as<br />

beautiful.<br />

Unfortunately, I am interested in the marketing<br />

part of the work too. In fact, this is not a<br />

very easy thing for a designer, because<br />

you need to be in the background. I'm<br />

correlating a particular relationship with<br />

my designs, and sometimes I wish not to<br />

sell it. Lori Sinanoglu reports that they are<br />

working for the brand’s recognition abroad<br />

as well as within the country and evaluating<br />

fair proposal because of this<br />

reason. She indicates that his designs<br />

were showcased at two<br />

separate fairs in Bahrain and<br />

Istanbul. She also reminds<br />

that they had participated in<br />

fair organized by Community<br />

Volunteers Foundation<br />

in Esma Sultan Palace.She<br />

also reports that they also received<br />

a proposal to introduce<br />

his Ebony designs in Switzerland.<br />

We leave him with our best<br />

wishes and hopes...<br />
