Istanbul-London Dual City Course From Central Saint Martins and Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. KateWhiteheadTextiles‬ © 2015 Kate

I  have collected new life stories to share from the Istanbul-London Dual City Course Central Saint Martins and Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University.
London and Istanbul are among the world's oldest and richest cities in terms of heritage and historical sites. Their global appeal is booming, with artists and designers keen to experience the beguiling mix of both the ancient and modern styles of these vibrant metropolises. My print Taksim Square Istanbul.

Kabak doesn't have a sufficient population to be designated as a "village", Kabak is officially a neighbourhood of Uzunyurt in the Turkish mountains. I recently spent two weeks there prior to doing a dual city course at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University a 
Turkish state university located in the Fındıklı neighborhood of İstanbul where i studied Print and Central Saint Martins London where i studied weave. I enjoyed a flip floppy time in Kabak and learned a lot about the local textiles.
