Traditional Turkish Marbling Workshop by Gulcihan Vural

During the two-hour workshop, held at Ginger Marbler’s authentic art studio, you will have the opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of paper marbling. This comprehensive session will guide you through a brief history of marbling, share technical tips, and provide guidelines to ensure a successful and enjoyable marbling experience for all skills and abilities.

You will also have ample opportunity to practice and explore various techniques, allowing you to create beautiful patterns. Additionally, while immersing yourself in the art of marbling, you will be treated to some Turkish snacks and tea, adding to the authentic experience.

Throughout the workshop, you will learn how to prepare the thickened water for marbling, techniques for properly preparing the paper, methods for controlling the behavior of the paints, and how to create an array of stunning patterns.

Please note that marbling can be a messy process, so I recommend wearing old clothes and shoes to fully enjoy the workshop. Rest assured, you won't need to bring anything except your wonderful dose of creativity!
