Ebru Art (Marbling Paper)

Turkish Marbling – Ebru Lessons in Istanbul.

Turkish Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to marble or other stone, hence the name. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to a sheet of paper (or other surfaces such as fabric). In Ebru art, you can draw flower figures that are traditional from the Ottoman period BUT the things that you can capable of by using Ebru art is unlimited. All you need is your imagination.

Interesting in a learning the art of Turkish felt-making at a master craftsman’s workshop? And making your very own hat, bag or even pair of shoes to take home? Or how about a spot of Ottoman marbling? Or a crash course in Turkish calligraphy? Or a Turkish tile and ceramic painting masterclass? Or, my personal favourite, a private lesson learning to play a Turkish musical instrument like a Qanun or an Oud?

Les Art Turcs offers a serious array of hands-on arts and culture workshops if you are interested to learn something new. They range from a couple of hours to full-day sessions. The team do look after you very well, and will throw in lunch if you are hanging around for a few hours. The institute’s sufism lectures are also worth checking out.
