Wonderful time making marble paper in Sultanahmet - We couldn't have had more fun making marble paper (Ebru). The children, aged 9 and 11, kept making masterpiece after masterpiece through out the time we were there. The location next to the Topkapi palace is perfect, as is the view from the top floor. Lovely couple gives expert and encouraging instruction. Highly recommended for all ages - no skill required. Great stress relief!

Spectacular. We couldn't stop smiling throughout the class. - We held an Ebrú workshop with Ali and it was the best experience here in Istanbul. The welcome, the class, the place... It's all been ten overall. We'll repeat when we definitely get back.

Awesome paper marbling class! - Our family had an incredible time with Betul and Ali. They were so knowledgeable, talented, friendly and patient with us. We made some awesome decorative papers, and we were surprised how calming and interesting and approachable the whole class was. Their studio is bright, spacious, and had the best terrace with views of the Bosphorous. We highly recommend taking a class here!

Making memories and learning about Marbling! - As a frequent traveler, this is one of the best experiences I’ve ever enjoyed. Yes, yes we learned about Marbling. However, more importantly my daughter and I made memories, and that is the true meaning of travel and exploring this planet.

A lovely memory I Will Always cherish - I don't know where to start because this should really have 10 stars. The atmosphere is amazing, you are welcomed in a 100 year old traditional Turkish home, the last 2 floors are the art studio and the terrace, both graceful and furnished with superb taste. You also get a magnificent wiev on Tokpapi palace and the bosphorous Channel. You are greeted with tea of course and then you get a full immersion in the Ebru art... We were able to paint at least 7/8 sheets! We literally could not stop. Our teacher (who owns the place) is a lovely woman with lots of patience, she went above and beyond to make my mom's birthday unforgettable! We will proudly show our art to friends and family and give the paintings away as Xmas gifts. This is a memory I will always cherish. Thank you so so much 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Creative Art Session - This art session was a once in a lifetime chance to learn from art experts in creating unique works of art using an extraordinary form of color transfer. It was fun for all participants and we each created 3 to 4 works of art that we can take home. If you're ever in the old section of Istanbul make arrangements to do this activity. Be prepared to be amazed.
