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.

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.
Alp was so helpful in organising everything for me. I did the Ebru marbling class with Fikret who has so helpful and patient, he was an excellent teacher and taught me all about Ebru. I would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Istanbul!

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.
