9 Classes & Workshops in Sultanahmet That You Shouldn't Miss

July 7, 2021 Marissa Gamble

The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

Turkish Marbling - Ebru Classes

We are an Art Gallery and organise Traditional Turkish, Ottoman marbling - Ebru workshops in our Art Gallery in Sultanahmet. Lessons are 2 hours with our local professional teachers from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul.Turkish Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to marble or other stone, hence the name. You can also draw flower figures which is traditional in Ottoman Art. The things you can capable of painting with Ebru is unlimited. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to a sheet of paper (or other surfaces such as fabric). This decorative material has been used to cover a variety of surfaces for several centuries. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monoprint.Need a break from the hustle and bustle of tourist life in Istanbul? Come take an art class with us.

Turkish Arts by Betul

Reviewed By mpegl5

I spent many hours with Betül and Ali enjoying their special hospitality in the studio. I did classes in Turkish tile painting, ebru printing and old Turkish calligraphy. I enjoyed every class and came away with special souvenirs for my family and friends that I made myself. I developed a special interest for these arts and I plan to continue learning and practicing the calligraphy at home. I would recommend to anyone to do at least one or two of the classes offered to enrich your understanding of what the beautiful city of Istanbul has to offer visitors.

We cooked with our guide Alp and his aunt Serpil at her house! It was a great experience, and we were really comfortable spending time with her at home. Food was great, and it was a very memorable experience! We even took leftovers home and ate it on our balcony of our hotel the next evening for dinner!
