10AM – 4PM, 1-DAY WORKSHOP
Bright meandering lines and jagged rings of color are the hallmark of Japanese Suminagashi marbling. This is an easy, almost meditative type of marbling. In this class you’ll learn to float dyes on water, fan, blow or tease them into designs and apply a sheet of absorbent paper to make a contact print. This class will begin by exploring Suminagashi marbling on paper and then apply the techniques to marble silk. Participants will leave class with beautiful papers, a silk scarf and a new technique to use for quilting, bookbinding or making wearable art.
