The ancient art of Western paper marbling is very much alive today because it has adapted 15th century Near East methods to contemporary artistry. This class will focus on both the old and the new. After an introduction to traditional marbling techniques and combed patterns, we will focus on a combination of time-honored practices and unconventional elements. Together we will explore the use of alternative tools and materials hair picks, mouth atomizers, stencils, mica powder, resists, and an array of colored papers all to create a wide range of textures. We will use both acrylic and gouache paints, sometimes producing multiple layers or double marbles to establish depth and richness of color. The goal will be to produce papers that are both aesthetically pleasing, as well as successful in terms of interpretive value. No experience needed.
Students will be given a supply list for paints and optional paper. There will be paper provided by the instructor with a $20 supply fee. 2 Sessions: 11 AM - 3 PM Sat and 12:30 - 4 PM Sun.
