Güler Kiremitçi turns amigurumi hobby into professional business
Güler Kiremitçi, a retiree from Düzce, has successfully transformed her hobby of making amigurumi—stuffed dolls created using a tight stitch technique—into a professional business. What began as a way to create gifts for local children has evolved into a 3.5-year career as a tradesperson.
Kiremitçi currently operates her shop at the Akçakoca Historical Neighborhood Market. She notes that the market provides more than just commercial opportunities; it serves as a vital space for female producers to socialize and build cultural solidarity, which she found particularly beneficial following the pandemic.
The market attracts visitors from various parts of Turkey, including Istanbul, Bursa, Ankara, and Zonguldak. Kiremitçi expressed that her goal is not only to sell products but also to contribute to the promotion of Akçakoca and the Historical Neighborhood Market.
