TURKISH MARBLING(EBRU) ART WORKSHOP

Ebru is a traditional Turkish art form that involves creating colorful patterns on water, which are then transferred onto paper. The process requires patience and skill, as artists carefully apply dyes to the water’s surface and manipulate them into intricate designs using specialized tools. Once the desired pattern is achieved, a sheet of paper is gently laid onto the water to absorb the floating design, capturing a unique and vibrant artwork.

This workshop offers a hands-on experience with Ebru, providing insight into its history and techniques, and allowing you to create your own marbled art pieces.

• Duration: Approximately 2 hours.
• Artwork Collection: After completing your Ebru creations, the papers will need time to dry. Once dried, you can collect your personalized artworks to take home.

Turkish Tile Designing and Painting

Traditional Turkish Tiles :

The art of Turkish tiles and ceramics have a very important in the history of Islamic art. Its roots can be traced at least as far back as the Uighurs of the 8th and 9th centuries. Its subsequent development was influenced by Karakhanid, Ghaznavid, and (especially) Iranian Seljuk art. With the Seljuks’ victory over the Byzantines at Malazgirt in 1071, the art followed them into Anatolia and embarked upon a new period of strong development fostered by the Anatolian Seljuk sultanate.
There is a widely held but quite erroneous belief that figurative painting, is not found in Islamic art due to prohibition by the Koran. Religious rulings issued only in the ninth century discouraged the representation of any living beings capable of movement but they were not rigidly enforced until the fifteenth century. Figural art is especially rich in tiles as well as stone and stucco reliefs of the Seljuk period, adorning both secular and religious reliefs monuments. The subjects included nobility as well as servants, hunters and hunting animals, trees, birds, sphinxes, lions, sirens, dragons and double-headed eagles.
