Description
Marbled paper, called Ebru in Turkish, was used extensively in the binding of books and within calligraphic panels in Turkey.
This ancient art form harks back to China, where a document from the Tang dynasty (618-907) mentions a process of colouring paper on water with five hues. In the early examples from the 16th Century during the Ottoman-Turkish era, Ebru appears in battal (stone) form.
This class gives you the chance to learn from local masters and get creative during your time in Turkey!
Ebru technique consists of sprinkling colours containing a few drops of ox gall on to the surface of water in a trough. By carefully laying paper on top of the water, the floating picture is transferred to the paper – creating a one-of-a-kind print!
