Marble (marvel) in the magic of color and pattern in this immersive and engaging art workshop!
Each student will create 10 marbled papers of their own! As always I will teach you how to create beautiful art using everyday materials you likely have at home, like aluminum baking pans, chopsticks, and corrugated boards. I will instruct on a handful of marble techniques like “antique straight”, “snail/French curl”, and “Turkish”, but also encourage creative play with your design choices.
In the interest of prioritizing guided marbling instruction for students, I will coat & dry the alum paper, and prepare the carrageenan baths in advance.

Includes a complementary take-home packet of written step-by-step instructions, visual print-out of each step and QR code links to my video tutorials, so that you are set up for success when DIYing paper-marbling at home. Classes are 2 hours. Please see location options below:
Location:
Enjoy a workshop in my beautiful Belmont Shore home studio. Available Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-4pm, all-included in the price of booking. Under a wrought iron chandelier dotted with whimsical, stained-glass lightbulbs sits my antique cherrywood dining table seated for 8 guests. Enjoy the cool ocean breeze through my French-casement windows while learning a new creative skill. Light refreshments of sparkling water and snacks are complimentary with your booking in this sunny and inviting workshop space. My sink is stocked with eco-friendly soap, nail brush, gentle hand lotion & 100% cotton towels to reset after class. Just steps away from boutique shopping and delicious dining— located half a block from Belmont Shore’s bustling 2nd Street! Address and free parking will be provided after booking.
Schedule a workshop at the site of your request, within the City of Long Beach. Available Saturday & Sunday, 10am-4pm. Please select the option “off-site location request” at checkout. This required $200 add-on compensates me for the cost of transportation, workshop set-up, break-down, and clean-up. Selecting your preferred workshop site is a fantastic option for backyard birthday parties, corporate team-building events, and bachelorette parties (make hand marbled paper for your wedding stationary; think guest place cards, table numbers, thank you notes!). ***Please reach out with information about your site location before booking so I can determine if it is appropriate for our workshop. Certain locations, like public parks, may require additional permitting for gatherings, that you are responsible for obtaining. In those cases I require proof of permitting for my tax records. Thank you for your understanding & cooperation.
