Master the Flow. Refine the Form. Unlock the Patterns.
You’ve swirled, you’ve dipped, you’ve gasped in delight at your marbled papers—but now it’s time to go deeper.
Pattern Masters is an intermediate-level marbling series designed to sharpen your skills, refine your patterns, and push your artistic instincts further.
Each session focuses on a specific family of classical (and modern) marbling patterns, guiding you through intentional iteration — because marbling isn’t just magic (though it often feels like it). It’s also technique, rhythm, and a little bit of alchemy. You’ll create 12+ pieces per session, returning to patterns multiple times to refine your approach, control your flow, and create a final, confident conclusion.
We’ll also delve into color theory — because a well-marbled paper isn’t just about pattern, but about the colors that make it sing. And each session will introduce an advanced design concept, helping you see your work with fresh eyes and greater intention.
Plus, you'll have access to an expanded range of fine-tuned marbling tools — giving you the precision and control needed to execute these patterns at their best.
