On June 28, 2012, I left New York from John F. Kennedy International Airport and traveled 10 hours and over 5,000 miles to Istanbul, Turkey. Once in Turkey, I joined the 24 other educators on the first day of our two-week Teacher Study Tour, sponsored by the Turkish Cultural Foundation and the World Affairs Council of America.
On day one we visited the studio of artist Hikmet Barutcugil, who has mastered the art of ebru (or paper marbling). In the video clip below, Hikmet's wife explains Ebru.
