He could fix or make anything and nothing went to waste in his shop. He taught me how to sew, cook, use tools, and always nurtured my imagination. Now his shop has become my workspace where I make pottery and books, do woodworking and photography, and, of course, upholstery which I am slowly teaching myself just as my father did.’  The Melike Carr store features a range of handmade incense and palo santo holders, as well as velvet meditation cushions.  --- ## 2.
