CAM Workshop | Paper Marbling with The Harebrained Press (SOLD OUT)
About
The art form of paper marbling takes its name from the stone it resembles, which is prized for its characteristic veins and ripples. In the West, marbling originated in 15th century Turkey as ebru or ‘cloud art’. Paints were spread and manipulated on a gum-thickened tank of water to create embellishments for calligraphy and manuscripts, and to frame drawings and paintings.Presented by Beck Sutton of The Harebrained Press at Castlemaine Art Museum, this workshop will provide participants with an introduction to the history, materials, equipment and processes of western paper marbling. Since 2016, Beck Sutton has learned the traditional art of bookmaking and techniques such as hand typesetting, letterpress printing, paper marbling and bookbinding.
The workshop includes all materials and welcomes all levels of skill and ability. Participants will be given the opportunity to learn how to set up paper marbling at home, to try their hand at the art form, and take their results away.
