An art form dating back to the 10th century, Ebru can perhaps be best described as painting on water. Also known as Water Marbling, this unique method of painting happens in a tray of water (the canvas) where special inks are "swirled and crafted" to produce fascinating works, which are then, traditionally, transferred to paper. The results of this process are unique with no two designs ever exactly the same again.
