Explore the artistry of miniature bookbinding, Tezhip (art of illumination), Ebru (paper marbling), Hüsn-i Hat (calligraphy), miniature painting, book embellishment and parchment making through hands-on workshops, engaging talks and live demonstrations.

Discover the beauty of embossed leather bindings, gilded decorations and mesmerising marbled patterns that define this heritage. To inspire young creatives, Yunus Emre Institute is also hosting special workshops designed for children, ensuring that Türkiye’s book arts continue to flourish for generations to come.
