Olaf O'laugh said he would only take part in the 7th International Marblers' Gathering The Peace of Paper - Tehran 2015 (and marbling in general) if it were something different.  If being in Iran isn't different than I don't know what would be.

The idea of a Marblers' Gathering is that
it offers more common values and interest than a curated or historical show. As a marbling artist I don't care about politics or race. I love all marbling no matter from which culture or country or era of history that they come from.

I have a letter from Jake Benson that I will share as we travel a virtual marbling/ebru/abri trip to Tehran. But for now I am just going to post some photos.
