Ebru-battal

In the historical atmosphere of eternal city,Istanbul;we are aiming to enable our clients to experience this traditional art,tutoring to create unique and eternal pieces of art with our well-known teachers.You will study on this art with keeping the master and apprentice relationship as it was in the old days with having the opportunity to add your own artistic perspective.

Ebru technique consists of sprinkling colours containing a few drops of ox-gall on to the surface of the bath sized with kitre (gum tragacanth) in a trough. By  carefully laying the paper over the bath, the floating picture on top of it is readily transferred to the paper; thus, each ebru is a one of a kind print. To obtain beautiful ebru results, one needs to have a light hand, refined taste, and an open mind to the unexpected patterns forming on the water. Patience and a good knowledge of traditional culture are characteristic of ebru masters.
