EBRU – Marbling on water

Ebru is the art of painting on water. Ebru-art has its origins in Asia, it is considered one of the defining arts in the golden age of the Ottoman Empire and is about 1000 years old. In this technique, colours are applied on a water surface (oily water), it creates ornaments, flowers and varied patterns.

On the painted picture, a sheet of paper is pressed on until the colour is accepted and transformed to paper. The picture is then dried. You can turn not only paper, but also ceramic, fabric, wood and other materials into colourful objects.

Come and let us introduce you to this fascinating and eclectic painting technique in a wonderful atmosphere with meditative music, selection of tees and oriental pastries.
