Paper Marbling Workshop!

Paper Marbling is an ancient method of painting by floating color on a viscous solution and transferring the color onto paper or fabric.  Each print is unique.

About Marbling:
The ancient art of paper marbling is nothing short of magical.  Artisans have created decorated papers using these techniques for centuries. Not only are these patterned papers rich in artistic expression, but they also have great practical and decorative value for artisans, craftspeople, designers, and decorators.

About the Class:

The workshop includes an introduction to the ancient art of paper marbling during a six-hour workshop. Students will learn the marbling process, terminology as well as the artistic aspect of color combination and marbling.  This class focuses on acrylic marbling and all students will create between 15-20 sheets of paper while learning the most common marbling patterns created: chevron, peacock, bouquet, and freestyle.

Marbled paper can be used for many applications such as bookbinding, cards, invitations, and unique gifts. Limited only by one’s imagination, the art of marbling provides endless ways to express one’s creativity.
