In these three days students will learn and practice all the basics of paper and fabric marbling. The first day we’ll talk about all the materials and preparations needed to successfully marble on paper. Students will learn the most famous historical marbling patterns and will have ample time to practice. Each person will have their own marbling tray and 12/15 sheets of primed paper where to express their creativity. The second day will be dedicated to talk about how to marble on fabric. We’ll also discuss more complex marbling patterns and talk about applying ideas of Color Theory in marbling. Each student will marble 12 sheets of two types of cotton.

The third day will be dedicated to perfecting the marbling technique with the goal of choosing a color scheme and a marbling pattern that will be “printed” on a silk scarf. Each student will make two silk scarves.
