Ebru, the exquisite art of marbling, transforms colorful pigments floated on oily water into unique patterns. At Çağatay Middle School in Turkey, students engage in this traditional practice, creating one-of-a-kind designs that reflect patience and cultural heritage. Using tools like brushes and spatulas, they learn to prepare organic paints, ensuring a vibrant outcome that cannot be replicated. This proactive approach not only fosters artistic skills but also deepens appreciation for Turkish craftsmanship and history among adolescents.

What is ‘EBRU’ ? • Ebru is the art of creating colorful patterns by sprinkling and brushing color pigments on a pan of oily water and then transforming this pattern to paper.
Human figures, portraits and some views of nature are being used as themes, as well as other non-figurative compositions by Ebru Artists.
Patience and a good knowledge of traditional culture are characteristic of ebru masters.

-HOW IS “EBRU”APPLIED? • The organic paints are collected in jars, watered and stirred and added “od” . Then the water is prepared with “gum” or “sea kadaif”.
Colours are then carefully spattered over water with brushes made of horsetail and rose wood until there is a dense pattern of several colors.
Finally paper or cloth, is gently laid onto the floating colors. The colors are thereby transferred to the surface of the paper or material. and then the paper or fabric is allowed to dry.
