Printmaking: Paper Marbling

About this class:

Paper marbling is fun, and while it looks complex, it is relatively easy to do. In this class, Wisconsin printmaker and artist Tori Tasch will teach you marbling terms, patterns, and common tools you can use to create 10 unique marbled pieces that you can take home with you.
