Turkish Marbling Paper Art Workshop

We had a wonderful afternoon learning ebru art. My three teenagers loved the class, and we left with many pieces of artwork to decorate our home. Would book again next time we are in Istanbul!

This is this most fun and unique experience my family and I have shared while traveling! Betul is a very talented artist. She was very patient with our children (5&9) and they had so much fun painting. I am impressed by the pieces we made and looking forward to bringing them home as special souvenirs from our travels. Betul and her family were so kind and welcoming. The studio space is gorgeous with the most amazing view of the Bosphorus! If I am ever in Istanbul again I would absolutely do an art class with Betul!

What a wonderful learning opportunity. Betũl, our teacher, felt more like a long lost friend. We learned traditional techniques and were able to use these to make our own pieces of art. The atmosphere was very relaxing; no pressure. Betül was there to guide us through every step. At the end I felt so fulfilled and thrilled that I had created my own pieces to take home. I’d do it again next time I’m here!

Lovely private group instructional art class of Ebru, marble painting in art studio overlooking the Bosphorus. We started with tea on the balcony and beautiful views. We were then given a short lesson on the history of Ebru painting. We then were able to make several Ebru paintings under the guidance of the artists. The environment was warm and one of a kind. We are ages 40, 41, 73, 8, and 5.

This was so much fun! A great break from all the museums. They are so patient and teach you how to do this. You will have works of art to take home and amaze your friends!
