Book & Paper Arts Workshops
[FULL] Introduction to Marbling (Los Angeles, CA)
Marbling is the centuries-old art form of floating paint on water, creating designs using special tools, and then transferring the image to paper (or other materials!). Gorgeous, elegant marbled papers have been an integral part of the written word and bookbinding since the invention of paper.
In this two-day class, you’ll be immersed in the world of Ebru, the Turkish form of marbling. You’ll learn the nuts and bolts of the art form, dive into traditional pattern making, and have time for creative exploration. You will be taken through every step of the marbling process from preparation (making the bath, mixing the paint, aluming the paper) to learning beautiful patterns and designs to discussing common problems and solutions. By the end of the class, you will have created dozens of marbled pieces that can be used for artwork, bookbinding, and more and have a strong knowledge base to start marbling at home.
