MARBLING WORKSHOP WITH ELIZE BE BEER
AN INTRODUCTION TO WESTERN PAPER MARBLING
Learn how to ‘paint on water’ using centuries-old marbling techniques to create 8-12 of your own beautiful A4 papers.

If you love experimenting with paint, colour or getting creative with paper, this workshop is for you. Marbling is an age-old technique rooted in history and is a fun and rewarding art form to experiment with.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
During this four-hour workshop, you will be given a thorough introduction to the beautiful art of western paper marbling, including a brief history, the technical dos and don’ts, followed with time to just play and experiment.
WORKSHOP BREAKDOWN:
> History of paper marbling and its applications
> How to make the thickened water
> How to prepare the paper for marbling
> Techniques for controlling the behaviour of the paints
> How to create all kinds of beautiful patterns.
> Time to experiment and create your own patterns.
