Altay Atelier

Made for one person

Much of the atelier’s work is never shown, because it was made for someone.

A commission

Tell us what you have in mind: the material, the size of the bead, a pattern you have seen or one you can only describe. Burak will tell you what the material allows, and what it will not.

Your own tesbih, inlaid

If you already own a tesbih you love, it can be brought to the atelier and inlaid. The beads you know stay; the silver is added.

How it arrives

Every piece leaves in a lined wooden box with a card that records its material, bead size, total weight and date.
