It was really wonderful to attend this class! The teacher gave material that helped us to emerge into the history of stamp carving and feel part of the crowd of amazing artists who started to use them centuries ago. Adding your personal stamp to any artwork will make it very special and cool.

This was my second water marbling art workshop at Anatolia Art Studio. I produced a few pieces for the future exhibition. The fluidity of the medium helps to create unique magical pieces. It can be particularly relevant for the artists who strive to stop being rigid and too controlling. In Ebru, the paints have their own life, and you can only direct them so much. Even for beginners, the outcome is always mesmerising and really cool. It is wonderful that Anatolia Art Studio promotes and teaches this ancient art. You feel the history flowing through the paints and think about people practising it centuries ago.

The magic continues….

This is the second time I took this class. It is truly wonderful. The tutor is very supportive and welcoming. It is lovely to chat to her and other participants. There is something really nice about Anatolia Studio so I keep coming back there for more classes. I would highly recommend it.

This class was absolutely magical! Getting to know the ancient art of water marbling, thinking about the artisans who practised it in Turkey centuries ago and ancient scrolls written on marble paper, watching the ink flow on water was a really unique and meditative experience. All teachers in Anatolia Studio are highly professional, helpful and passionate about what they teach. Highly recommend it! I was encouraged to apply my creative knowledge and experience, practice handling this medium, and was able to produce my own unique pieces such as in the photo attached.

Amazing experience, the teacher was very helpful and supportive! The class teaches a bit tricky technique but that makes it even more satisfying and rewarding.
