In the words of Don Guyot (a lovely marbler and generous sharer of techniques), the workshop ‘will teach you how to arrange things so that suminagashi occurs’.

The art of suminagashi, the Japanese form of paper marbling, is both compelling and intriguing. It dates back to the Heian period of Japan (794-1185) and is the precursor of all other marbling techniques. Learn to marble paper with this technique of floating ink on water. Unleash your creativity and get familiar with the process and materials involved. Take home many sheets of paper decorated with suminagashi for use in bookbinding and other paper arts. The workshop is designed to give you all the knowledge you need to carry on marbling at home. No artistic training required, just curiosity!

The cost includes all materials with refreshments provided (please bring a packed lunch).
