Hi, I'm Ebru — architect, maker, and the person behind Moonmade (@moonmade.paperworks).
I've always been drawn to art and design, so studying architecture & urban design felt like a natural fit. I spent many years living and working as an architect in Belgium and Turkey before moving to Portugal at the end of 2021. These days I keep building both worlds in parallel — designing for Moonmade while continuing my architectural journey, and facilitating artistic workshops at places like Museu do Oriente and Espaço Japão in Lisbon, and various art centers back in Istanbul.
My interest in paper and origami got serious around 2010. What drew me in was the dialogue between material and design — the idea that a flat, simple, recyclable sheet can become something three-dimensional and alive. Nature is my biggest source of inspiration, and paper feels like the right material to translate it: abstract it, play with color and texture, push it into new forms. My favorite part is making objects that bring people joy. That never gets old.
Not at all! 🧵 This workshop is beginner-friendly and no previous experience with sewing, crafts or kinusaiga is needed. Ebru will guide you step by step throughout the session.
You’ll create a handmade fabric Christmas tree ornament, inspired by the traditional Japanese art of kinusaiga. You can follow one of the provided templates or get creative and design your own motif.
You’ll take home your very own handmade fabric Christmas tree ornament, ready to hang on your tree or give as a special handmade gift. 🎄✨ The ornament will be completed entirely by you during the 2–2.5 hour workshop.
Yes! 🧵 All fabrics, tools, templates and supplies needed for the workshop are included. You don’t need to bring any crafting materials with you.
Yes! ☕ Enjoy a relaxed creative session with snacks, coffee, tea and/or iced tea included. Come ready to slow down, get creative and enjoy a peaceful afternoon of making. 🤍
