Meliha Coskun
Meliha Coskun received her formal training at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Marmara University in Istanbul in contemporary ceramics. She later studied at a traditional Iznik school and developed her own style of Iznik, early Ottoman and Seljuk pottery traditions. Today she is one of Turkey’s renowned master ceramic artists and her works have been showcased all over the world including Smithsonian Museum Shops.

As a ceramic artist Meliha Coskun is known to utilize the quartz close to the way it was done in the 16th century. It is a challenging process that gives depth and whiteness to her ceramics. In addition she uses all natural colors and produces her own blue, turquoise, black, green, and red colors to produce her own unique adaptations of Iznik designs.
Tile making has been a tradition in Turkey for more than a 1000 years and Iznik, antique Nicaea, was the center of tile making for 400 years. Meliha Coskun works at nearby Bursa .
