Ebru

Ebru, also known as paper marbling, is an artistic technique that creates colorful, swirling patterns on paper or fabric. It involves floating pigments or dyes on a liquid surface treated with a special substance, allowing the artist to manipulate and create intricate designs by swirling or combing the colors. Once the pattern is complete, a sheet of paper is gently laid on top to transfer the design. Ebru has a rich history in Ottoman Turkey and is valued for its decorative appeal and craftsmanship. It combines painting, chemistry, and patience to produce unique, vibrant works of art.
