Paper Marbling Experience:

Summer Heat Edition

Friday July 29, 6:00 - 8:30

2 Hour Workshop +

Experience the magic of marbling decorative and abstract papers with this easy-to-pick-up introductory workshop to a centuries old practice. This single session hands-on class is so much more than an art party: you'll have the opportunity to follow your curiosity as you experience the spontaneous magic of paper marbling and also learn how to control classic, intricate patterns. You’ll be walked through all the techniques you need to make mesmerizing designs in vibrant colors of the season:   cool poolside hues and blistering colors of the beach.

In this workshop you will:

·      Create 10 marbled papers, 12” x 19”, yours to keep.

·      Learn 3 basic patterns common in traditional marbling.

·      Explore spontaneity in freestyle marble designs.

·      Try Ebru Drawing, a way to make pictures in floated inks.

1 Ticket to this event reserves your own marbling station, set of tools, and 10 marble-ready sheets of paper.

At the end of class, you may optionally continue the fun: if 10 papers aren’t enough, keep going at $5 per additional sheet. Stay as long as you like.

All art and marbling materials will be provided for you at the workshop.

BYOB if you’d like to indulge while you marble.

All materials are safe when handled properly, but let me know if you have an allergy or sensitivity.

This experience can be messy, please dress appropriately.  Aprons will be provided, or wear mess-worthy clothes.

Take this class over and over: every class will be slightly different with seasonal colors, alternating patterns, and opportunities for you to make new discoveries on your own.
