On the search for relaxing indoor activities? Discover the fascinating process of UNESCO heritage-listed ebru (marbling) and create beautiful fabric art at this interactive Adelaide workshop with Eda Tevrizci!
In this two-and-a-half-hour workshop, you will learn how to create mesmerising abstract patterns on fabric. We will first start with a few examples of paper marbling to become familiar with the process and then proceed with fabric pieces. Each participant will have their own trays (30x40cm) and 3 pieces of small sized fabric (28x28cm) to experiment with.
There will also be a large size tray which will give the opportunity to create one 50x50cm chiffon scarf for each participant. The aim of the workshop is to give you the basic instructions of fabric marbling process so that you acquire necessary knowledge to practice the whole process at your discretion.
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.

  • 5/5 from Jodi Mitchell, attended Jul 2025: Ida was lovely and has great knowledge to share. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and recommend it to anyone interested in learning about fabric marbling.
  • 5/5 from Sharon Lorenz, attended Dec 2024: Had great fun learning something new and creating unique pieces of art️
  • 5/5 from Kate Holland, attended Nov 2024: A wonderful day and a wonderful teacher - thank you!
  • 5/5 from Risa Dobashi, attended May 2024: It was at a home studio, which is so pretty. The teacher provided knowledge about Turkish marbling which is original style of this workshop. She also gave demonstration so that not only participants can be clear with what they have to do but also imagine how they work with their own work. We used 3 different types of fabric and 1 bigger one. It necessary to make sure clothes could get some ink. Ink can’t be removed easily once it put on clothes. I loved those little company that was built just for that day.
  • 5/5 from Celia Giles, attended May 2024: What a fabulous Ebru marbling session with the ever patient Eda. Great to hear a short history of the technique and then straight into demonstration and experimentation. I loved every minute. And I can’t wait to use my paper and fabric!
  • 5/5 from Pamela Anne Tonkin, attended Nov 2023: Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The art form and its history was well explained and there was ample opportunity to experiment under Eda’s guidance. Lovely to have our ‘first efforts’ to take home afterwards for continued enjoyment.
  • 5/5 from Julie Chambers, attended Jul 2023: Eda was a wonderful tutor. Very generous with her knowledge, encouraging, friendly and helpful. She is clearly highly skilled and well equipped to teach marbling. For the time we spent we gained lots of insight and tips, as well as lots of opportunities to create different patterns on paper and fabric. Highly recommended - thanks Eda.
  • 5/5 from Serena Flower, attended Apr 2023: I did this class with 2 other girlfriends, we had THE BEST day. Eda was so lovely and informative which made the whole class extra special, the afternoon flew by We want to come again and do another one. It was also very good value for money making one large scarf that you could wear around your neck and three smaller ones that you could tie to your wrist or handbag. Would HIGHLY recommend this class. Great gift for someone too.
  • 5/5 from Kylie Crampton, attended Apr 2023: What a fabulous experience! Eda shared her knowledge, passion and expertise with the class in a warm and inviting way. I was impressed with the gorgeous marbling art works I and the other participants were encouraged to make. And the more than generous amount of materials supplied and the final finished pieces I left with. Eda, I loved your class and highly recommend it. Thank you, Kylie
  • 5/5 from Mel, attended Apr 2023: We had such a fun day with Eda, she was fabulous & so much fun! We really enjoyed the creative process and learning all about the history of Ebru! Would highly recommend!

Eda Tevrizci is a professional Ebru artist living in Australia since 2016. She started to work on traditional Ebru art early in 2015 which stole her heart immediately and has been practising it since then.
This art form has been added to UNESCO's world cultural heritage list in 2014; she uses water surface as a canvas and then transfers the created patterns onto paper, fabric or other materials.
Using natural pigments, traditional materials and water surface as a canvas, she tries to find a balance and connection between the traditional and modern designs through her works but she is more after in creating contemporary, abstract forms rooted in the traditional art form.
After living and running workshops in Melbourne for five years, she now conducts ebru workshops and short-term courses in Adelaide for art lovers who are open to a unique experience — paint on water surface.
Apart from workshops, she also creates tangible ebru designed jewellery and fashion accessories, stationery and home decoration products all of which reflect her vision of life.
For Eda, Ebru is a lifelong learning journey and she is keen to share her expertise with people while trying to achieve more each and every day. She loves the freedom and endless possibilities that Ebru offers and always looks for new and creative ways to adapt it to the new forms of today’s world.
