It is the land of Troy, birthplace of Homer, Santa Claus and tulips, tryst place of Marc Anthony and Cleopatra, kingdoms of Croesus and Midas, the rescuer of the Jews, the perpetrator of the world's first genocide, and the refuge of the Virgin Mary. The words of Julius Caesar's veni, vidi, vici resounded across Amasya, east of Ankara in 47 BCE. Thus, it is a land of antiquity and iniquity, although Anatolia, the western area of Asian Turkey, is one of the oldest inhabited (as early as 7500 BCE) lands, Turkey, as a national state, is one of the youngest (1918).

  • Ebru Paper Marbling
    Ebru Paper Marbling Instructor: Kathleen Osterwise (please excuse the photography, I don’t have the proper equipment) Description: Paper marbling is an ancient painting technique that has originated in several ​ cultures. The two most common techniques still used today are Ebru from Turkey, and Suminagashi from Japan. The technique consists of floating pigments, now most commonly acrylics, on a thickened substrate to design the image, and then laying unsized paper on top to pick up the paint, creating an original print. Ebru and Suminagashi prints have been used traditionally as the binding paper for the inside covers for hardback books, but may stand alone as individual pieces of art. It can even be used to marble fabrics. In this class, I will demonstrate the basics of both techniques, with an emphasis on Ebru and show how your prints can be cut and folded into gift boxes to package your beautiful lampwork jewelry. How to Sign Up: I have created a google sheets form to both sign up for the class and purchase the specially mixed inks and supplies. You may choose to purchase materials through me, or you may just watch, and you can use the list of materials below and the file that I will e­mail you to make your own pigments. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_QGbG1SEoanDsZSsj6xkyQHvZBJgBwYYF3WG7Nq THSY/edit?usp=sharing Required Materials: ***Please bring paper towels and old newspapers to the class*** If you have paint brushes, or any of the materials not included in the basic kit, please bring them.
