The Art of Paper Marbling with Ellen

What’s it all about?

Marbling is an abstract, ancient art-form and a lot of free flowing fun! By floating inks on a water solution, then taking prints, you'll create unique, one-off pieces of colourful art. No experience is necessary for this meditative creative process. Come and play with some colour together!

Appreciating and enjoying the smaller and simpler things in life also invites us to slow down. So why not have a go at paper marbling and spruce up your paper supply! It's something you can do again and again at home.

What will we cover?

This hands-on class you'll learn about the materials and process required for marbling, including paper preparation, specific paint types to use, and addition techniques for creating unique effects.

Then you'll be set free to play and experiment, creating colourful paper prints which you'll take home at the end.

This is the perfect class to get back into your creative groove, or to explore your artistic side without any pressure, as the process is simple but the possibilities are endless.

All materials provided! Just come and have a nice time!

What should I bring?

The marbling process can be a bit messy. We will provide aprons, but best to bring something to wear as an art smock.
