About Us — Karin Sanat

A Trusted Partner in Traditional Arts

Karin Sanat is a brand devoted to the traditional arts of ebru (paper marbling), hat (calligraphy), tezhip (illumination), miniature painting, and çini (ceramic art). Our own Karin-branded ebru paints and calligraphy inks are developed and produced with meticulous care to meet the highest standards of masters and practicing artists alike. Every product is designed and refined with direct input from artists themselves — because for us, this isn't just about materials, it's about contributing to the future of these art forms.

Global Brands, Local Expertise

For many years, we have served as the Turkish distributor for internationally renowned brands including Schmincke, Da Vinci, Eytzinger, and Awagami. Alongside this, we import specialty product lines from brands such as Moorman, Finetec, Brause, Karin Markers, Speedball, and Manuscript, bringing art lovers a distinctive and carefully curated selection. Combined with our own Karin products, we offer artists the most reliable and innovative options available. This experience and reputation are reflected in the quality of every product and the reliability of our service.
