What to expect: • Class will be 2 hours. • I will share a brief explanation of marbling, its history and uses. • I guide you through the basics of water marbling paper. Included will be marbling prep work using carrageenan, alum, marbling tools and paint required, as well as after care. • We will experiment with a variety of patterns and paint applications. • During this session you will experiment first with a variety of paper products. • Once comfortable with A4 paper, you will have the choice of marbling from a selection of things including terra cotta pots or upcycled ceramic vases.
