Workshops

Instructor: Jennifer Omaitz

Marbling consists of suspending inks on a bed of thickened water (carrageenan). These inks are raked through a series of swirls, zigzags, and other gestures to transform a given design. The outcome is then printed, similar to mono printing, on a surface of choice.

Learn the ancient art of marbling on paper with this intensive workshop. Beginning with a historical overview and demonstrations, students will explore patterns and designs by marbling on a variety of papers. We will also explore color combinations and marbling techniques through both traditional (Ebru) and non-traditional approaches. A series of technique demos will guide students of all levels throughout the weekend. Beginner through intermediate students are welcome; previous experience with marbling is not necessary.

* Throughout the weekend, participants can expect to make 15-20 sheets of 18" x 24" marbled paper, in a variety of prints, patterns, and discoveries. (You won’t want to stop!)

All materials are included.

Teens/Adults, all levels
