An exhibition of Students of the Bogazhisar Educational Institution showcases works created with a technique called paper marbling. The first and second grade students of the Bogazhisar Educational Institutions present 56 art pieces at the Sariyer Cultural Centre in Istanbul. The works based on the ancient art-form can be seen in January 2012.

When and where the technique of paper marbling was developed is still unknown, but some Iranian sources report that it has emerged in India. According to other sources it could have  originated in the city of Bukhara in Turkistan, and was passed on by the Ottomans. It is called 'Ebru', "Turkish paper" or "marble paper". Marbling is done when a shallow tray filled with water and various kinds of ink or paint colours are carefully applied to the surface with an ink brush. Various additives are used to help float the colours. A drop of "negative" colour made of plain water is used to drive the drop of colour into a ring. The process is repeated until the surface of the water is covered with concentric rings. The roots of the art of marbling goes back to the 9th and 10th century.
