The Art of Marbling

Ebru is a form of paper marbling art.
It is a traditional art form that originated in Turkestan and has ancient roots; its name is derived from the Chagatai Turkic word "ebre" (linked to the Persian word for "cloud") and was coined by early masters through the combination of the words *ab* (water) and *rû* (face).

The art of *ebru* is a traditional form of painting in which patterns created with special paints on water thickened with *kitre* (a substance of plant origin) are transferred onto paper. This unique and traditional Turkish art relies on the interaction between water and the permanence of the colors.
