Traditional Ebru Art: Painting on Water

Learn Turkish marbling art, listed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Master Kemal, with 20 years of expertise, will open the mesmerizing world of painting on water. Ebru is an art created with natural dyes on specially prepared kitre water. First, we'll get to know the dyes and brushes. Then you'll learn basic patterns — tulip, carnation, and tide motifs. Each participant will create at least 3 ebru pieces. Watching colors dance on water is therapy in itself. Your works will be transferred to paper, ready for framing once dried. The workshop takes place in a historic han in Beyoğlu, in an authentic atmosphere.
