Full description

Discover the captivating art of Ebru—the traditional Turkish art of water marbling—through an authentic, private workshop in Cappadocia. Guided by experienced local artists, you’ll first be introduced to the history, symbolism, and creative techniques of this centuries-old tradition. After a short demonstration on paper, the artist will showcase how designs can also be transferred onto silk, turning this ancient craft into a living performance.

Unlike group classes, this experience is designed exclusively for you and your party. Whatever the size of your group, the allocated time and presentation will be reserved only for you. During the session, the artist’s full attention will be dedicated to your experience, ensuring a more personal and memorable connection to the art of Ebru.

Once the show is complete, it’s your turn to try. Each guest has the opportunity to create their own marbled artwork, transferring vibrant floating colors from water onto paper. The process is simple, yet deeply engaging, and no two patterns are ever the same. Depending on group size, sessions last around 30–40 minutes, with enough time for everyone to craft their personal masterpiece. For those who wish to explore further, silk marbling demonstrations reveal how timeless motifs can be captured on scarves and other unique textiles.

The Ebru Art House offers space for both small and large groups, and every workshop is carefully prepared in advance with individual trays ready for each participant. This ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience where creativity flows freely.

After your session, you’ll also have the chance to browse a gallery of handmade, collectible pieces created by skilled artisans. These one-of-a-kind works reflect centuries of tradition and make meaningful keepsakes or gifts.

This is more than just an art class—it’s a private journey into Türkiye’s cultural heritage, where artistry, history, and imagination meet. Reserve your spot in advance and immerse yourself in an unforgettable experience that belongs entirely to you.
