Paper Marbling workshop:
Similar to the patterns found in smooth marble and other stones, the ancient art of marbling uses paints suspended on the surface of thickened water to create multi-colored patterns and unique designs. You will spend two days exploring traditional and non-traditional patterning and design through marbling on a variety of paper. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with an understanding of marbling, as well as a stack of hand marbled paper to display or use for future projects.
