As soon as you arrive, you'll be greeted by this passionate artisan who will tell you all about her background and introduce you to the basics of her craft.
Then it's up to you! Together you'll explore paper marbling techniques using natural leaves and pigments. You'll be able to try out a range of different techniques to master the patterns and effects you want to achieve on paper.
Idil will guide you every step of the way, sharing her tips and advice on how to achieve amazing results.
To make the experience even more memorable, a Turkish tea ceremony will be offered, accompanied by delicious treats.
Finally, you'll leave with your own magnificent marbled paper creations and a souvenir of this artistic (and slightly gourmet) immersion!
Workshop location
Idil's studio can be reached by public transport from the centre of Brussels.
This place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
After training at Arts & Métiers and then in ceramics at the Waterloo Academy of Fine Arts, Idil opened her boutique in Saint-Gilles in January 2024.
Of French, Belgian and Turkish origin, Idil combines all these influences in her creations.
Inspired by architecture and traditional motifs from around the world, she now creates her own jewellery. With a strong commitment to slow design, she favours limited collections and one-off pieces.
Idil also uses fair trade materials and works closely with local artisans in Brussels.
Come and meet her and immerse yourself in a world where each piece is an invitation to dream and travel!
