The town of Kilis was featured prominently in a New York Times article this week regarding Syrian immigration to Turkey. Kilis was once a hub of Armenian needlework. “Kilis work” is a form of reverse applique and the Museum’s collection includes several examples of large 36 inch square bundle cloths made using this technique. In this video Collections Curator and Textile Curator Gary and Susan Lind-Sinanian discuss the technique and history of Kilis work.
