İpek Melek Aslan

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • 1986 to 2011
  • English, Turkish
My trade is shoemaking. I opened my own shop in 1986 in Ankara and I'm still there most mornings. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 25 years later for another job. I'm still learning every day.
