Paint Upon the Water: An Introduction to Marbling Textiles

Class Description

In this workshop, I will teach you the techniques of marbling silk. We will discuss preparation of carageenan size, paints and the basic tools. We will each have an individual work station, consisting of a smaller tank, brushes, paints, etc. We can experiment with the techniques that I demonstrate. As we gain confidence and skill, and relax into the process, we can then move up to the large scarf tank, 18”x80”, and begin to marble scarves. I will have scarves available to purchase at cost.
