Altındağ Municipality brings together citizens of all ages with cultural and artistic events. Women members of Altındağ Municipality Hüseyingazi Women's Education and Culture Center participated in the 'Tokat Woodblock Print' event with their children. At the event held at Hüseyingazi Cultural Center, mothers and their children praised the artists. At the event organized by Tokat woodblock printing teacher Gönül Çıtak, participants created their own unique designs by printing with patterned molds on cloth bags, t-shirts and bags. The little ones who attended the event with their mothers had joyful moments. 
"TOKAT PRINTING IS A FORM OF ART THAT IS FACING TO BE FORGOTTEN TODAY"
Educator Gönül Çıtak, who said that Tokat printing art is a branch of art that is about to be forgotten, said: "Tokat printing art is applied by applying fabric dyes to molds made of linden wood and printing on all kinds of cotton fabrics. Tokat printing used to be used on tablecloths and prints. Now, we can use it in many areas. We chose patterns for children in our activity. We have patterns made of cartoon characters, flowers, car figures, children's figures. Our children can print whatever they want on their belongings." "They can print the figures. The dyes we use are not harmful to health and are completely organic... After the printing process is completed, we proceed to the drying process. After it dries, our participants can iron and use their products." 
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO OUR MUNICIPALITY" 
Şerife Bilir (43), a member of Hüseyingazi Women's Education and Culture Center, who participated in the event, said, "I attended the event with my 6-year-old daughter Nisan. I did not know about Tokat printing before, but I learned about it through this event. I found the event very useful, it went very well. I would like to thank our instructor and Altındağ Municipality."
