Destiseng

Destiseng – Marble Paint-Grinding Stone

A traditional marble hand-stone used to prepare ebru paint. Powder pigments are ground with the destiseng by adding water and ox gall and are turned into ready-to-use paint. With its even, smooth surface, the destiseng grinds the pigment finely and homogeneously, letting you obtain quality paint.

Why Should You Use the Right Auxiliary Supplies?
In the art of ebru, it is not only the paint and size that determine the result. Every auxiliary tool you use — from the jar to the pipette, from the mortar to the skimming rod — affects the quality of your work. The auxiliary supplies we offer at Ayan Ebru are tested in a workshop environment and selected to suit the needs of marbling artists.

• Marble Material: Natural marble grinds the pigment finely and homogeneously.
• Smooth Surface: An even grinding area that directly affects paint quality.

• Traditional Tool: The classic method used for centuries to prepare ebru paint.

Usage: Place the powder pigment on a flat marble or glass surface. Add water and ox gall. Grind with the destiseng in circular motions until you reach a smooth paint consistency.
