Overview
Turkish Paper Marbling is an important part of our culture as it has been used for designs through the history. Due to it's uniquness, it is also listed as one of the Unesco World Cultural Heritages.
We are pretty sure that there are great Marbling workshops in Istanbul. What makes us different is bringing this unique experience together with Turkish home hospitality.
Having the experience held at a calm central home with warm vibes would let the connection between the instructor and the guests to be a real bond. As Turks, we take hospitality seriously, that's why we like to make people feel at home. Isn't it also a great way to bring your inner creativity when you feel more peaceful?
That's how this experience would be. Just like learning and creating at a friend's home that you feel like having known since a long time.
