Turkish Paper Marbling 1W25
Age Group:
Adults
In this class students will create beautiful swirls and mottling colors on paper with marbling. Students will earn "ebru", the Turkish-style of marbling, on water thickened with carrageenan (Irish moss) as well as experiment with a range of materials, colors and papers to create lovely, unique designs. Marbled paper is striking when used as book end papers, portfolio covers, and more. All participants will have their own marbling vat, custom color choices, and plenty of paper types. We’ll explore the historical techniques and contemporary trends in this unique form of aqueous surface decoration.
Beginners and repeat students are welcome. Dress for a mess!
No make up date.
