English, Turkish

If you’re looking for things to do in Istanbul beyond the usual sights, join us for a truly special Turkish Paper Marbling (Ebru) workshop in a welcoming home. This experience is not just about art—it’s about culture, creativity, and connection. 🖌️

We’ll meet in Beşiktaş, where you’ll be warmly welcomed into a real Turkish home. With a cup of tea in hand, you’ll get an introduction to Ebru, a mesmerizing art form where colors float on water to create unique patterns. Recognized as part of UNESCO’s world cultural heritage, Ebru has been practiced for centuries and is still used today in Turkish design and calligraphy. 🖼️

Our instructor, Ahmet, will guide you step by step through different marbling techniques, helping you turn your creativity into stunning, handmade artwork. But what makes this experience truly special is the setting—instead of a formal workshop, you’ll learn in a calm, cozy home, where you can fully relax and let inspiration flow. This is also an opportunity to experience Turkish home hospitality, where art, conversation, and warmth come together naturally. 💌

By the end of the session, you’ll take home not just your own artwork but also wonderful memories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for Turkish culture. If you're searching for interesting experiences in Istanbul, this is a must-try when you are in Istanbul! 🧡

Excellent experience, highly recommended activity and very special for those who are not familiar with it. Ahmet was a superb host, a couple of hours very well spent in Istanbul. The setting, instructions and amenities were also excellent. Super! Recommended!
