Kaybolan Düğüm

The Vanishing Knot explores the centuries-old craft of quilt making—now on the verge of disappearing—through the life of a master who has kept his workshop in Ankara’s Çankaya district running for over forty-five years. The documentary traces the delicate process from raw wool to hand stitching, contrasting the warmth of handmade quilts with the coldness of industrial materials. It captures the master’s struggle to find an apprentice and the fragility of traditional craftsmanship in the face of changing consumption habits and modern education.
