Enjoy an afternoon of creative play exploring the art of marbling on paper. Learn the basic techniques and patterns that will give you the foundation to start marbling on your own at home! Artist Roberta E. Laine will show you how to prepare the special carrageenan (thickened water) bath, how to alum coat your papers, and how to mix your liquid acrylic pigments. You will marble in a medium-size tray on a variety of papers. You will learn classic patterns, how to create color harmonies, then you will be free to experiment on your own.
