Each participant will have their own trays (30x40cm) and 3 pieces of small sized fabric (28x28cm).

There will also be a large size tray, which will give the opportunity to create one ~50x50cm chiffon scarf for each participant. The aim of the workshop is to give you the basic instructions of fabric marbling process so that you acquire the necessary knowledge to practice the whole process at your discretion.

What to wear: Wear old clothes & old shoes as it can become a little messy.

Note: Marbled pieces created in our workshops may not dry on the day and you may need to collect them later.
