Intro to Paper Marbling

Instructor: Kate Hawk

Maximum 5 people

Price $65 (includes all materials)

Join us to learn about the ‘magic’ of paper marbling’.

In the first part of the workshop we will discuss marbling paints, set-up, materials, and tools. Examples will be shown on how to properly prepare the marbling bath, use marbling combs, and mix paints. Explanation of the alum process on paper will also be discussed and demonstrated.

In the second half the workshop, students will practice using marbling combs to marble individual papers. Everyone will leave with at least 4-6 of their own pieces.
