Nuran Ündemir turns waste materials into handmade products

Nuran Ündemir, a 70-year-old retiree in Karaman, Turkey, has transformed her retirement by turning waste materials into handmade goods. After working for many years at the Karaman Textile Factory, Ündemir sought new activities to fill the void left by her professional life.

She began taking courses at the Karaman Public Education Center at age 54, starting with painting. Following her success in art, she expanded her skills to include sewing, home textiles, jewelry design, and recycling.

Ündemir utilizes various waste items, such as eggshells and leaves, to create new products. While she initially made items as gifts for others, she has been selling her creations for the past four to five years through her own shop. She also fulfills orders for her sister in Germany.
