Paper Marbling Instructor: Bill Dexter

Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as ‘sizing’, and then carefully transferred to a sheet of paper. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype.Wed., Aug. 15 & Thurs., Aug. 16 6:30 - 9 pm Members: $75 Non-members: $85
