Paper Marbling Experience with Keith Garubba

Saturday, October 21st, 1pm-4pm

Members: $85, Non-Members: $100, Material Fee: $30

Experience the magic of marbling decorative and abstract papers with this easy-to-pick-up introductory workshop to a centuries old practice.

Your single session hands-on class will be so much more than a painting party: you'll have the opportunity to follow your curiosity as you experience the spontaneous magic of paper marbling and also learn how to control classic, intricate patterns.

You’ll be walked through all the techniques you need to make mesmerizing designs in 16 specially prepared colors of the season.

In this workshop you will:

• Create 10 marbled papers, 12” x 19”, yours to keep.

• Learn 3 basic patterns common in traditional marbling.

• Explore spontaneity in freestyle marble designs.

• Try Ebru Drawing, a way to make pictures in floated inks.

Don’t let the fun stop after your marbling session. Once you’ve taken this workshop, you might wonder what you can do with your stack of marbled papers! Marbling is beautiful on its own, but these papers can also be the perfect touch to amplify your bookmaking or printing projects. Bring your marbled papers to a future session at Frontline Arts and you’ll have a head start on your masterpiece.

1 Ticket to this event reserves your own marbling station, set of tools, and 10 marble-ready sheets of paper.

Take this class over and over: every class will be slightly different with seasonal colors, alternating patterns, and opportunities for you to make new discoveries on your own.
