Ali Eryaz

Ali Eryaz was born in Iskilip, Soğucak village in the district of Çorum in 1956. When he was 25 years old, he was influenced by his fathers’ antique business and started to make new furniture. He researched works and developed by himself. Today he continues to carve woods and make wooden furnitures using traditional motifs at his own workshop. He is one of the artists recognized by Turkish Ministry of Culture. Eryaz influences new craftsman into making similar works in the same region. He is pleased to teach a new generation this forgotten artwork.
