Weekend discovery of traditional ebru and marbled paper techniques

Dive into the fascinating world of marbled paper art, a UNESCO-listed Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, during an exceptional weekend with Zeynep Usyal! This renowned artist will take you through the history and secrets of this ancient technique.

During this weekend, Zeynep Usyal will offer you a glimpse into the rich past of traditional ébru art, a paper decoration method that has long adorned the covers of precious books. You will learn how the paints are delicately projected onto water and transformed into patterns using combs and styluses before being transferred onto paper.

Zeynep discovered this technique in Turkey after a discovery internship, then followed training with a Master Marbler in Izmir. Since then, she has refined her techniques and shares them passionately. During the workshop, you will get hands-on experience: you will use traditional tools and pigments-based paints prepared on-site to create your own artwork, experimenting with both classic and modern patterns.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to discover marbled paper art with an expert. Whether you are an art lover, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a new experience, this weekend promises to be unforgettable. Reserve your spot now to explore the elegance and beauty of ébru and leave with your own marbled creations.
