  • Minnesota Center for Book Arts 1011 South Washington Avenue #100 Minneapolis, MN, 55415 United States (map)
  • Posted In: Workshop, In-Person, Papermaking and Paper Marbling, Beginner
  • Thursday, May 15; 6–9pm CT

    Immerse yourself in the oldest form of marbling, Suminagashi 墨流し (“spilled or floating ink”).

    In this one-day in-person workshop, we will explore the materials, techniques, and history of this art before spending most of the workshop practicing this meditative art. We will play with paper and tools; feel free to bring in your own. This art form is a great way to practice meditation as it is all about exploring the different variations of repetitive movement. Everyone will go home with a set of notecards.

    Participants may need to return to pick up their paper on Saturday, 5/24 or later in The Shop at MCBA to allow the wet sheets of paper time to dry.

    Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
    Certificate: 3 hours, Category A or D
