    Experience the magic of marbling firsthand with this single-day, in-person workshop!

    Learn the basic process of paper marbling with acrylics, including recipes for the various components of the process. Make four basic patterns (stones, moire/waved, git-gel, and nonpareil), explore seasonal color palettes, and take home your own marbled papers ready to be used in bookbinding and other arts. Participants will leave the workshop with the confidence to work independently at MCBA's Marbling Labs.

    Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome. 
    Certificate: 6 hours, Category A or D
