Join us for a special holiday themed paper marbling workshop! In this 1-day workshop participants will learn the art of paper marbling and how to apply those patterns to wrapping paper, ribbons and ceramic ornaments.

Marbling is an art that has been practiced for over a thousand years. By applying paints to a thickened liquid, you can build stunning one-of-a-kind designs that can be used in a variety of paper crafts or displays. Traditionally used on books, artists have found countless ways to incorporate marbling into various uses.

In this class you will learn about the history, techniques, materials, and tools used in this art. You will then learn the basic patterns and movements that make up all of the design possibilities. We will finish with adding different additives to paint and paper to see how marbling changes and reacts!

Participants will leave with a set of custom marbled wrapping paper sheets, a set of ribbons and ornaments. Make a gift for a special someone or create holiday decor!

Cost of workshop includes materials, instruction by S-R staff and takeaway prints. We will be using water based acrylic paints, dress appropriately!
