WORKSHOP: Paper Marbling WorkshopDATE/TIME: August 11, 2024, 9AM – 4PM
LOCATION: CVAC - Gallery Level
COST: CVAC Member $85 / Non-CVAC Member $105
INSTRUCTOR: Jenniffer Omaitz
BEGINNING – ADVANCED: In this one-day intensive workshop, participants can explore the ancient art of marbling on paper. The workshop encompasses an exploration of patterns and design through marbling on various types of paper. The color combinations and marbling techniques will be examined using both traditional (Ebru) and non-traditional approaches. Attendees, whether beginners or advanced, can anticipate creating between 12 to 40 sheets of marbled paper, depending on their individual pace.
The marbling process involves suspending inks on a bed of thickened water (carrageenan), and these inks are manipulated through a sequence of swirls, zigzags, and other gestures to achieve a desired design. The resulting outcome is then printed, akin to monoprinting, onto a chosen surface. Prior experience with marbling is not a prerequisite, the workshop provides a comprehensive introduction and a series of demonstrations to guide participants through the entire experience.
NOTE: If a student wishes to sign up for a Marbling Workshop on both August 10th & August 11th, the instructor will give the student additional instructions for creating more detailed pieces within the second workshop attended.
