Workshop on the Turkish Art of Marbling, Ebru

Overview/ Description / Introduction
UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
Listed with UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, Ebru is the traditional Turkish art of creating colorful patterns by sprinkling and brushing color pigments onto a pan of oily water and then transferring the patterns to paper. This is such an unusual form of art. Special tools of this art are brushes of horsehair bound to straight rose twigs, a tray, natural earth pigments, cattle gall and tragacanth.
It is believed to be invented in about the thirteenth century. Seljuk and Ottoman calligraphers and artists used marbling to decorate imperial decrees, official correspondence and documents. It is often employed as a writing (background) surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype.
This workshop is a learning experience, in which you will get acquainted with the art of ebru in a very short period of time, and design your own “ebru” artwork.
Highlights

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A workshop which invites you to learn how to make Turkish Ebru Art by traditional techniques with an expert artisan.
Practice different technique of the art and create your own style.

Finely ground roasted beans and sugar (optional) are added to water, and boiled on low heat multiple times in a special pot called cezve. Served unfiltered, Turkish coffee bears earthy aromas, a distinctive full body and frothy texture. The more foam there is on top of the cup, the better quality it is.
After learning about the history of Turkish coffee, you can also experience how to make it and read coffee cups. You will first make your own coffee in the traditional way, then the fortune teller will read your cup and tell you about your future.
