Ebru Marbling Workshop

Looking for unique things to do in Adelaide? Discover the fascinating process of ebru (marbling) at this interactive workshop with Eda Tevrizci!

This workshop will commence with a brief history of ebru and an introduction to traditional materials. You will gain a general understanding of how this art form was used in earlier times and how it's being used in today's world.

You will then continue with the techniques and application process of traditional ebru patterns/designs and transferring them on paper. You will also learn the nature of the materials, how the solution and paints are prepared and how they are applied to create patterns.

During the session you will learn to create at least five different ebru patterns and their variations:

• Battal Ebru / Stone or Rock Pattern
• Gel-Git Ebru / Tidal Pattern
• Taraklı Ebru / Combed Pattern
• Şal Ebru / Shawl Pattern
• Bülbül Yuvası Ebru / Snail Pattern

Everyone will have their own tray set-up and it will be a hands-on experience where participants will get a chance to produce a series of unique ebru artworks, that will reflect their inner vision and creativity.

In the final part of the class, your teacher will hand over an object (bamboo fans, coasters, greeting cards etc.) to transfer your ebru pattern on!

Observe the brightness of colours on the still water surface and enjoy the meditative process of the creative transformation of colours and patterns! The therapeutic nature of the practice helps with relaxing the mind.

You can frame your finished artworks, make bookmarks or use them in your papercraft projects.

I loved doing this workshop. Eda is a lovely teacher who simplified everything for us and also gave us the history of ‘Marbling’ or ‘Ebru’. It’s is lots of fun and you don’t need to be artistic to get great results with this medium.

The turkish Erbu class was well organised, Eda explained the Erbu history, how each components/colours etc., are made and took time to practically show each pattern the class was so much fun, 2 hours went quickly I'm going to frame my work for sure. Would recommend this class to anyone, esp for beginners like me.

This workshop is perfect for art lovers, explorers, life enjoyers and those who are open to learning new things - no prior experience is needed.
  You can expect to create a series of seven to eight ebru papers along with a marbled object at the end of the session depending on the time you spend on each of your designs.
  Wear clothes & shoes you don't mind getting a little messy in.
 

This class is great for a team building activity, birthday, hens party or bucks party.

This would also be a nice gift for her, gift for mum or anniversary gift.
