About the Program

There is not much we as a community can do to help the Turkish and Syrian victims of Monday's earthquake. But what we can do, we will, and so the Folk Arts Center is hosting a last-minute event with Ahmet Lüleci online on Saturday, February 11. The two hour workshop will include:

  • a quick review of the spoon playing techniques that Ahmet taught during the his two workshops at the recent Stockton Winter Weekend.
  • more advanced "spoon moves"
  • dances to enjoy - with or without spoon augmentation!
