In short
Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul was founded on 1 January 1882 as the Mekteb-i Sanâyi-i Nefîse-i Şâhâne, with Osman Hamdi Bey as its founding director. Its Faculty of Fine Arts includes a Department of Traditional Turkish Arts with five main branches: calligraphy, illumination (tezhip), bookbinding, carpet-kilim and traditional fabric patterns, and tile design and restoration, with courses in miniature, kalemişi and ebru marbling. The faculty also has a Department of Ceramics and Glass, which goes back to a ceramics workshop set up in 1929, and a Department of Textile and Fashion Design with weaving, print and garment design branches. Bachelor's, master's and proficiency-in-art programmes are offered.
