Exploring the Ancient Techniques of “Painting on Water”

Today ceramic educator, Zeynep Baykul, came to our school and gave information about Ebru Painting Art, which is one of the Turkish cultural heritage for hundreds of years. Our students made many Ebru paintings with the help of Zeynep Baykul.
