Marbling

Creativity, colour and experimentation, that's what this masterclass is all about. A method of aqueous surface design, paper marbling creates out-of-this-world patterns and was originally used to mimic marble and other stone surfaces on fabrics and paper, each piece one-of-a-kind.

You'll spend this session getting zen, dropping paint onto a liquid surface, and applying various techniques to achieve different designs. We'll have a huge range of colours and will show you how to correctly set up, essential materials needed, ink application, various pattern techniques and design transfer skills.
Once we've run through the basics, you'll spend the session experimenting and exploring the art form and make as many sheets of custom paper as your heart desires!
Leave with the confidence to marble at home, and a stack of bespoke sheets of paper to add to your stationery!
No experience necessary and all materials will be provided. 

Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.
