Turkish Marbling Ebru Art

Turkish Paper Marbling is an aqueous surface design technique that, as the name implies, may generate patterns resembling those of marble or other stones. The colors are floating on either plain water or a thick solution known as size, which is then carefully applied to a sheet of paper (or other surfaces like cloth) to create the patterns. The typical floral figures from the Ottoman era can be drawn in ebru art, but there are no limits to what you may create with it. You only require your creativity.

Technique of Marbling

The technique of marbling is producing vibrant patterns on paper by sprinkling and brushing color pigments into a pan of oily water. A deep tray made of unknotted pinewood, natural earth pigments, cow gall, and tragacanth are some of the specialty instruments of the profession. Brushes made of horsehair linked to straight rose twigs are another. It is thought to have been created in Turkistan around the thirteenth century. Later, this ornamental art was introduced to China, India, Persia, and Anatolia. Marbling was a technique employed by Seljuk and Ottoman calligraphers and painters to embellish books, imperial decrees, official communications, and documents.

    We did a marbling workshop with Sophia and had a lot of fun. Sophia is a great teacher who gave us an insight into the intricacies of this traditional art while allowing us our own freedom of expression. I can’t wait to hang the resulting artwork at home! Thank you

    A thoroughly enjoyable experience in a beautiful location with a great teacher who has studied this art for nearly a decade. Sofia knew just how to support and help and explain so that what I produced and am taking back with me is a finished product and yet distinctly my art. Tea, coffee and water are offered and while waiting for the pictures to dry I enjoyed the fabulous view from the roof top terrace. Sofia is a beautiful woman Insider and out with a big heart that flows through how she helped me connect with this ancient art as a way to express myself. Urug who mediates the classes is very friendly and helpful. 50 Euro well invested! I went back the next day 🤩
