In this workshop, led by artist Erin Hughes, learn about the history and processes of paper marbling – a method of producing surface patterns that resemble marble and other types of stone. Find out about how different techniques have been developed around the world, with a focus on Turkish, Japanese, and European practices. Together, we will explore a range of different approaches for making our own marbled papers, from ‘nonpareil’ marbling, to creating natural stone effects and diffusions of colour, to experimenting with our own freestyle effects.
Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.
