Paper Marbling

November 21, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Have you wondered how those beautiful marbled patterned papers are made? In this online demo we’ll show you how! We’ll start by going over preparation of materials, including the carrageenan bath, getting pigments to the right state ready for marbling, and treatment of your paper. Then we’ll demonstrate how to marble classic traditional patterns, as well as modern styles. Ask questions along the way in this interactive demonstration.

We are planning to make a recording of the program available to everyone who has registered, so you will be able to watch the entire program at your convenience even if you can’t join us live. You’ll receive a link to the recording shortly afterwards.

Saturday November 21, 11am – 1pm Central.
