Description
Discover the mesmerising art of marbling in this fun workshop, creating your own truly unique designs on paper.
Marbling is an ancient art form that involves floating and manipulating paints on a thickened liquid surface to create stunning patterns which are then transferred onto materials, traditionally silk or paper. It is an addictive and satisfying process and very meditative!
During this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of marbling - including selection and preparation of inks and various fascinating techniques - through guided demonstrations and individual practice.
With a wide range of colours and ways of application, the results can be completely guided by your own tastes - from bright groovy flowers to muted pastel waves.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained a solid understanding of the craft, and will have produced their own collection of marbled papers, ready to incorporate into your artistic projects or simply admire as beautiful works of art.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist looking to expand your skills, this workshop offers a playful and immersive exploration into the world of marbling.
