It is possible to say that for
traditional handicrafts, which is one of the important items of the culture, is
a value that meets the requirements of people at an important level when the
industrialization is not so fast. The objects that come out of this situation
are in communication with the person and environment, living objects, not only
meets the requirements of people, but also they reflect the socio-economic and
cultural conditions of the period. With the globalization of our world, the
ever-diminishing cultural diversity has also affected the differences in
products, which has led to the production of similar products and to a lesser
extent to handcrafts. Products that produced with copper workmanship, which are
starting to come out with the diversity of production, are seen as one of the
product groups resisting time. Copper pots, which have an important place in
Turkish culinary culture, have taken different names over time according to the
locality, production technique, shape, pattern and function. In this paper, the
way that copper workmanship has taken from the past has been researched which is
produced by the craftsmen of Gaziantep copper shops. The position of the copper
craft in relation to the products produced in a large number of similar
typologies based on the serial production brought by the technology and the
industrialists was questioned. Also the interaction of this hand craft with the
new designs developed today is discussed. The relationship between design and
craft concepts is handled through the production of copper products, it is
thought that these two concepts will feed each other and bring new perspectives
to the designers. In this field-based research, observation and interview
techniques were utilized, which are necessary for the research to be conducted
in a healthy way and reach a reliable result.
