Taller de arte turco con papel veteado

Lovely private group instructional art class of Ebru, marble painting in art studio overlooking the Bosphorus. We started with tea on the balcony and beautiful views. We were then given a short lesson on the history of Ebru painting. We then were able to make several Ebru paintings under the guidance of the artists. The environment was warm and one of a kind. We are ages 40, 41, 73, 8, and 5.

This was so much fun! A great break from all the museums. They are so patient and teach you how to do this. You will have works of art to take home and amaze your friends!

I stumbled into this lovely Ebru (paper marbling) class in Istanbul. I was mesmerized by the beautiful paint moving This was at Turkish Arts in Sultanahmet with artist Bülent Şengüler. Definitely worth visiting if you’re interested in traditional Turkish art. #turkisharts #ebru #papermarbling #istanbulart #turkeytravel #traditionalart

Ali was an incredibly warm and friendly host, with excellent English and very good with my kids (aged 7-13). A fantastic, authentic experience with lots of brilliant artworks to take home. Our family agreed this was the best thing we’d done in Istanbul and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommended it!

I love a crafting class and this place was just around the corner from my hotel. A cozy studio with a great view and patient, generous instructors. Betül is ìstanbullu hospitality personified and a talented artist and teacher. She obviously loves her craft and sharing it with people. I honestly felt like I was hanging with a crafting friend I'd known forever. Thank you so much for a great afternoon!

Betül and Ali were fabulous hosts. So friendly and engaging. I was lucky enough to be in the workshop by myself and we had truly enjoyable afternoon chatting and laughing while I made attempts at "art". I had a blast; they are a wonderful couple and generous with their time.

This was so much fun. Betel is a master ebru and tile artist. She was so knowledgeable and kind. She spent a lot of time teaching me and my 6yo daughter the different techniques and guiding us as we made our own Ebru marbling art. The studio is also in a beautiful location. Such a fantastic activity and you come away with a unique, self-made souvenir. My daughter absolutely loved every second and was so proud of what she made!

We had a lovely afternoon painting with guidance from the lovely, talented, Betul. Betul is a gifted art teacher and a gracious host. She and her husband welcomed us into their beautiful studio with kindness. They are both deeply trained and knowledgable in the Turkish arts. We had so much fun marbling paper and making art. Plus, you get to spend time with a Turkish art studio - a great way to feel what life can be like in Turkey. We highly recommend doing this.

This was hands-down our favorite experience in Istanbul! Betül - the artist - was so kind, patient, hospitable and her art studio has stunning views. We are a hard crowd to please - one artist, one non-artist and a 6 year old and we ALL had so much fun and really enjoyed this Ebru art workshop. 10/10 recommend for artists, non-artists and kids!!!

Wonderful morning spent with this husband and wife team who educated us on marbling art technique and history. They were perfect with my children aged 7 and 9 showing the right balance between fun, encouragement, support and patience. We could not have asked for more and walked away with some wonderful designs to display at home, and many happy memories. The best experience we have had in Istanbul.
