Marbling on paper to create botanical artworks has long been a mysterious and complex process, having its origins in 9th century China, moving through Persia and Turkey, before making its way to the book binderies of Europe, where it was used for the endpapers and covers of bound books. Many of the pigments and sizes used by this art are plant based. Using seasonal flowers and plants from the Botanic Gardens as your inspiration, this workshop will guide you through the basics of the beautiful art of Turkish (or Ebru) marbling. All materials provided. Presented by the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha Education Team.Please bring a snack and a keep cup or water bottle. This workshop supports the Botanic Gardens' commitment to creating a plant loving community dedicated to putting the 'plant back into planet'.
Ideal for those 16 years and older.
