Mr. Celal Acik, the president of Gaziantep Bakircilar ve Sedefciler Odasi,
the Chamber of Coppersmiths and the Artists of Mother of Pearl Inlay Work invited us to their school .
We learned how the mother of pearl inlay is made.

We then went to the copper work shop. There were three masters working. After the ceremonial welcome, the journalist from local and national media came and asked us many questions. After the interviews were finished, the masters started teaching us patiently.
