Workshop on the Turkish Art of Marbling, Ebru

, , , , ,

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.

UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage

UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage

The special tools of the art are brushes of horsehair bound to straight rose twigs, a deep tray made of unknotted pinewood, natural earth pigments, cattle gall and tragacanth.

It is believed to be invented in 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 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 be making your own “ebru” artwork, and keep your work as a souvenir. You can also ask questions of the artist.

This is also once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Calligraphy, Illumination (Tezhip) and Miniature Painting are three different traditional forms of art from the Ottoman times. They were all used to illustrate manuscript books. These arts were used to illustrate manuscript books.

The illustration of manuscript books was well established in Ottoman times. The tradition lives on. Artists in the Ottoman Era sometimes spent their entire lives completing a manuscript.

In this workshop, three artists will be available for you in three groups. You will be able to try each of these arts by their artists and try making your own works of art, and keep them as souvenirs. Discover the artist within!

Drinks and cookies will be available during a coffee break.
