Tamawujat — paint on water in an Ebru marbling workshop

Learn the Turkish art of Ebru with Maryam Altamimi at House of Wisdom. Create an image on the surface of water, shaping colour through movement before transferring it to paper. This two-hour workshop accompanies the calligraphy exhibition in collaboration with Sharjah Department of Culture.
