10AM – 4PM, 1-DAY WORKSHOP
The mysteries of a once-secret craft are revealed in this introductory level marbling workshop. Apply color to a carrageenan (seaweed) size using broom corn whisks and brushes and then perform magic with a series of marbling combs and rakes. Persian fantasy patterns (hearts, flowers and birds) made with a stylus will also be explored. Splashers as well as precision-oriented participants will have an opportunity to create historic combed patterns from the 16th century and more free-form marbled designs. The stunning papers you will produce can be used on a variety of projects, but chances are you’ll want to reserve a few for framing.
