About this Event

Step into the mesmerizing world of water marbling, a centuries-old art technique where color floats, swirls, and dances across the surface of water before being transformed into stunning, one-of-a-kind designs. In this immersive, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create beautiful marbled patterns by manipulating paint on water and transferring your designs onto paper and other surfaces. You’ll experiment with color, movement, and tools to create unique marbled prints on paper, fabric, and small 3-D objects.

This class is designed for beginners and curious creatives alike - no prior art experience is needed. All supplies are provided, and step-by-step guidance will ensure everyone can successfully create multiple finished pieces to take home. Along the way, we’ll talk about troubleshooting common challenges and how to continue marbling at home with accessible materials.

Water marbling is both meditative and playful, inviting experimentation and embracing the unexpected. Come ready to slow down, get a little messy, and enjoy the process of creating something truly unique.

The class will cover the following:1. The four foundational patterns (stone, chevron, getgel, and nonpareil)2. Tools, materials, and how to prepare for a water marbling session3. Historical grounding into this art form4. Water marbling examples from around the world5. Tips and tricks for water marbling at home
