Contact our Arts and Sciences Classes Coordinator - Dame SaehildR barngodR to teach a class. We are looking for instuction on all food and feast related subjects.
This class will provide you with instructions, a diagram, and assistance to take your measurements to custom-fit a pair of Turkish Pants. With the measurements, calculations, and diagram, you should be able to lay out, cut, and (machine) sew a pair of pants in 2 to 3 hours.
There will be written /sketched sewing instructions provided in a handout, and finished example pants for you to check out construction details. We will also discuss suitable fabrics, color combinations, and upper-body layers to wear with your new Turkish pants.

In 1650 and then in 1700, 2 Europeans notated music of the Ottoman court. We'll cover a bit of theory, but let's try listening to and playing some of this genre. Bring a melody instrument or a drum. Handout with music and sources.
Ms Amelie d'Anjou
Have a ney/nay* and don't know how to use it? This class will go over some types of neys, and general info, then we will start from the very beginning, talk about the positioning and attempt to get a sound out of the thing... this is far tricker than it may at first appear!
If you have a ney, bring it!
If you have a set, bring the D (dukkah).
If you don't have a ney ...any sort of non sharp solid tube between pinky and thumb size should do for getting a sound. A chunk of clean pvc from home depot works great!
A limited number may be available (TBD), though sharing will be somewhat limited due to the germ factor.
If you already can get a sound, we can talk about next steps, or pull me aside during the event and we will see what we can do.
