Contemporary Marbling

Elin Noble

                    

Workshop description: Develop imagery that is far from traditional marbled patterns, using traditional and unusual marbling products. Combine fluidity of line, pattern and color in nonconformist ways resulting in abstract, cellular, aquatic, cosmic, and even geological imagery. Experience the magic of this ancient process with a contemporary twist and learn why and how different products are used and when to use them. We’ll cover color mixing, paints, fabric and paper selections, and establish simple, inexpensive and effective set-up methods, learn tricks, and time saving ways to do larger projects, all through lively and humorous discussions. This monoprint process is very accessible and successful for everyone.
