What to expect

Your experienced instructor will guide you through ebru, the centuries-old Turkish art of paper marbling, in our spacious and stylish atelier near Galata Tower. Learn how color comes to life on water, and use special brushes and tools to guide paint into a pattern before carefully transferring it onto paper.

Because the result depends on the natural movement of water and paint, no two pieces are ever exactly alike — every artwork is a one-of-a-kind creation. This standard experience covers one sheet of paper and takes about 10–15 minutes. Throughout your visit, enjoy the warm atmosphere with unlimited water and traditional Turkish delight.

Your finished piece needs about an hour to dry safely; once ready, it's rolled and packed into a protective tube, perfect for traveling home as a treasured Istanbul memory.
