Join me in my studio in South Devon for a mindful, half day ink marbling on a variety of papers and on silk to create a unique scarf. This is a lovely introduction to the most ancient form of marbling on paper and textiles.
You’ll learn how to use calming breath-work and Japanese techniques to produce Suminagashi ink marbled papers to take home for your own craft projects and then create a pattern on a silk scarf.
You will be guided on how to prepare your space and papers for marbling, a bit about the history of ink marbling, plus the best inks and tools needed to make your patterns. You'll watch a demonstration for each technique and practise on smaller papers, before making your patterns on larger paper.
Refreshments and all workshop materials and equipment are provided, plus an apron and gloves, but I suggest you wear older clothes as the ink can stain.
Lunch is not included, but we have a friendly local pub and a farm café, either a short walk or few minutes drive away for after the workshop finishes.
Parking available on the gravel drive, or opposite the studio on the roadside. Directions to the studio will be sent after booking is placed, a week before the workshop date.
