Reviews
The Istanbul Traditional Turkish Ebru Workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore this ancient art form, immersing participants in its painting techniques and cultural richness. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a beginner, the workshop promises to inspire and enhance your creativity.
Had an amazing time here learning the techniques of water marbling and the instructors were so patient and kind. Enjoyed myself so much during this session!!🥰
Staff was super friendly. I loved every minute of it. It's best to do this activity first thing when you visit the area as the papers take up to 2 hours to dry. You can walk around and sightsee after the class, and then come back to pick up the finished papers.
