Take your marbling skills to a new level! In this in-person workshop, learn to make newly-designed, contemporary patterns.

Inspired by traditional marbling, these patterns bring a familiar but fresh take on a centuries-old art form. Discussions will include the science of marbling, critiques, and troubleshooting. Participants will come away with marbled paper ready for use in bookbinding and other arts!

Level: Intermediate. Participation in Introduction to Marbling is required to register for this workshop.
Certificate: 6 hours, Category D
