FAQ
Traditional Turkish Ebru is an ancient art form where intricate patterns and designs are created by dropping specially prepared pigments onto a viscous liquid surface, then transferring the artwork to paper or other materials. It is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, celebrated for its unique beauty and delicate process. The art typically involves creating vibrant, fluid patterns resembling marble or floral motifs.
In the workshop, participants learn the step-by-step process of Ebru. This involves preparing the thickened water surface (size), carefully applying natural pigments with special brushes, and manipulating the colors with tools like needles and combs to form unique patterns.
