About this Event

Marbling is an art that has been practiced for over a thousand years. By applying paints to a thickened liquid, you can build stunning one-of-a-kind designs used in a variety of paper crafts or displays. Traditionally used on books, artists have found countless ways to incorporate marbling into various uses.

In this class you will learn about the history, techniques, materials, and tools used in this art. You will then learn the basic patterns and movements that make up all of the design possibilities. We will finish class with adding different additives to paint and paper to see how marbling changes and reacts.

This class will be taught by Geralyn Lance, a local bookbinder and paper artist hosted by Jen Nagle.
