Spend a weekend learning several types of paper marbling with Cristina Hajosy. Make a mountain of unique paper designs for use in mixed media projects, collage, bookbinding, greeting cards, calligraphy, or printmaking. Many cultures have explored the notion of floating colors on the surface of liquids as a way to create decoration. Each style of marbling has its own design potential, color saturation, workflow, and even predictability. We’ll cover Turkish Ebru, Japanese Suminagashi, and several modern variations. Each student will have their own vat for printing. All materials are included, along with great paper and cardstock choices, custom colors, and course handouts. January 9 and 10, 2016 from 10am to 4pm

New Date! Private Paper Marbling Workshop – Sunday, August 30, 2015 from 10am to 4pm with Cristina Hajosy. Paper Marbling Projects – Our marbling experiments will begin with a basic overview of “proper” Turkish paper marbling, called “Ebru”. Students will have access to a variety of fresh, new marbling trays, as well as, aged marbling size, and even contaminated mixtures with unique and unpredictable outcomes. Learning the “rules” and breaking them, that’s what this workshop will encourage. Your floating designs may be free-form, combed, blown, or perhaps a mixture. Having several print surfaces evolving at the same time can fill in the down time between dropping the colors and the liquid flow, drift, and crackling. I find the transformations to be hypnotic.
