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.
No. The workshop is suitable for beginners, and no previous experience with origami or paper craft is needed. Ebru will guide you through each step, from shaping individual flowers to assembling your finished arrangement.
You'll create a small bouquet of paper flowers using origami and paper craft techniques. You'll also assemble a geometric paper vase to display your finished arrangement.
Yes. All paper materials, tools and supplies needed for the three-hour session are included, so you can focus on learning and creating.
The workshop takes place in a cosy studio in Lisbon and lasts three hours.
You'll take home your own handmade paper flower bouquet arranged in a geometric paper vase. You'll also gain new creative skills and techniques that you can use for future paper craft projects.

Amazing teacher! I couldn’t believe I was able to make such a gorgeous vase and flowers in such a short time! Ebru was very friendly, clear, and patient, and she made me feel confident. So now I not only have a stunning bouquet; I have the ability to make more. I’m thrilled!
Thank you so much, very happy to meet you and hope to meet you again=)
