Stony blooming with ebru art. Enjoy the relaxing art of paper marbling.
Ebru is a way to create art on water. Watch as the colours drip onto the tray and how they are magically transferred to paper to make a wonderful vision.
Ebru Art is performed using aqueous natural pigments mixed with ox-gall in a rectangular trough filled with thickened water, traditionally prepared using gum-tragacanth. Colours are sprinkled using brushes made of rose stalks and horsehair on the surface of the thickened water in the trough. The floating pattern is reproduced on paper after being reshaped and retouched using pins, needles and combs.
Ebru shares a sense of patience, calmness and harmony.
Regardless of skill level, or the intentions of the artist, Ebru is a deeply personal journey with the artist, materials, movement and time. Ebru is more than just an art form, it is the gathered knowledge, history and mysticism of a deep artistic and cultural journey.
