Traditional Crafts of Ankara

Master craftsmanship of Ankara: delicate Beypazarı silver filigree (telkari), Nallıhan silk needle lace, and hand-hammered coppersmithing.

Artisanal masterworks include Beypazarı’s intricate silver filigree jewelry, Nallıhan’s silk-cocoon needle lace, and traditional loom weaving.

Coppersmithing in Samanpazarı, pottery in Ayaş, and geometric kilim weaving in Elmadağ continue time-honored artisanal traditions.
