PAPER MARBLING WORKSHOP
Sunday 6 July 2.45 pm – 6.00 pm
£65 including refreshments, materials, use of equipment on the day, tutoring, comprehensive notes to take home along with your marbled papers.
This half-day group workshop with our guest tutor, Anne Hickley, is suitable for all skill levels.
You will learn the basics of the ancient art of marbling on paper,
which can be traced back to 14th century Persia. Marbling is a
‘mono-printing’ process where paints or inks are floated on ‘thickened water’ and then the paper is laid on top to pull the print.
We will concentrate on the ‘Western’ version, familiar to many people from old book endpapers, using combs and rakes to make patterns, but also take a brief look at the more modern Turkish ‘Ebru’ – making pictures on the ‘thickened water’. We will be using acrylic paints. Every marbled print is unique, as it depends on exactly how the paint floats, swirls and is manipulated on the thickened water, and how the paper is laid
down before the print is pulled. You will choose the colours you want to use and learn to make several different patterns. At the end of the day you will take home around 8-10 A4 marbled papers, and detailed instructions for anyone who wants to carry on this joyous craft.
Anne will bring examples of her work to inspire you.
All materials are provided.
Please wear clothes you don't mind getting messy.
This PAPER MARBLING WORKSHOP will be held in the peaceful setting of our Blended Monkey studios on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border.
