Build the skills to do marbling all on your own by joining this class that teaches you new patterns and techniques while providing all the information you'd need to prepare your own marbling materials. This class is for the paper marbler who has already been casually introduced to the craft and wants to pull back the curtain on what makes the magic work. In this class you will:
- Create 20 marbled papers with new patterns and techniques.
- Prepare your own papers and bath, an essential skill of the craft.
- Mix your own colors for marbling.

The magic of paper marbling really comes to life when you explore it on your own, chasing your own curiosity, going deeper and refining your skills as you are ready. The challenge, of course, is that not everyone has their own paper marbling setup. Answering the requests of repeat workshop attendees, this open studio time provides everything you would need to make your own marbled papers, without the interruption of instruction. Come with your own ideas, and go to town.

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.
Take the Paper Marbling Experience 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.
"Exceeded Expectations!"
-L., marbling experience participant
You will love paper marbling if...
- you marvel at patterns in nature
- you like the idea of learning an art form that can literally be performed in minutes.
- science, engineering, and chemistry excite you (but don't worry, you don't need to be a scientist to marble)
- you get lost in "groovy", mind expanding experiences.
- cross-cultural exchange, and the history of technology through the centuries feeds your curiosities.
- you love art but "you can only draw stick figures" or "you can't even draw a straight line."
- the stress of life melts away when you give in to a meditative state.
- you are prepared to be amazed!
You (and your friends) deserve a fun and world-opening experience . . .
Activate your curiosity, try something new, and amaze yourself with an art experience from Keith Garubba Studios, where students frequently leave the studio barely believing what they were capable of creating.
