About the workshop:
Over an hour and a half, immerse yourself in the centuries-old art of traditional marbling using natural, plastic-free materials. In this hands-on festive workshop, you’ll explore the craft’s rich history while creating your own beautifully hand-marbled wooden and ceramic baubles to take home and treasure. Discover a variety of patterns with your choosen colours to design truly unique, personalised ornaments. Each carefully crafted bauble is made to last, giving you magical keepsakes to enjoy and share for many Christmases to come.
About marbling:
Dating back to the 1200s in Asia and later developed in 1600s Turkey to decorate important manuscripts, marbling is now considered an 'endangered' craft, with just a small handful of people practising it professionally in the UK.
About the artist:
The workshop will be taught by Grace Frogley, an emerging artist from Canterbury, with a particular interest in heritage crafts. Grace has recently exhibited at RBSA (2025) and ST.ART Gallery (2025) and Bonnington Cafe (2025) and hosts marbling workshops across London and Kent.
