Turkish Marbling & Bookbinding

Turkish Marbling Workshop:

During the 1.5-hour session, participants will be introduced to the captivating art of paper marbling. You will learn about its history and receive technical tips and guidelines for a successful marbling experience. The workshop will cover topics such as preparing thickened water, properly preparing paper, controlling paint behavior, and creating stunning patterns.

Please remember to wear old clothes and shoes as marbling can be a messy process.

You don't need to bring anything except your creativity!

Lunch Break:

After the marbling workshop, there will be a one-hour break. The studio is conveniently located on Waterloo Street, where you can find numerous café shops to grab lunch and relax before the next session.

Bookbinding Workshop:

In the bookbinding workshop, participants will learn a contemporary take on a historic binding technique. The session will cover choosing materials, tools, different sewing styles, and participants will create an exposed spine binding, also known as coptic binding, using their own marbled papers from the morning session.

All materials and tools provided.
