The training was organised in cooperation with Meraki Dil ve Sanat Derneği.

Ebru is an art form in which the final result can never be completely predicted. Drops of paint spread across the surface of specially prepared water, forming unusual patterns. Using delicate tools, the colours are transformed into flowers, ornaments and abstract compositions before being transferred onto paper or fabric.
