Once again, a number of people have contacted me recently about marbling classes and I'm happy to pull together a couple of options for classes in June...including a new option: Advanced Marbling! If you are looking for an adventure in color, experimenting with design, and exploring a new creative world, join me in the studio for a day of marbling fun!
Beginning Paper Marbling
(6 hours)
Date: Saturday, June 24
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (includes ½-hour BYO lunch/break)
Class fee: $195 (includes EVERYTHING!)
Location: my private studio in South Pasadena
Minimum of 5 students, maximum of 7
In this hands-on class, we work primarily in an 11"x14" size tank with access to a shared 20"x25" size tank. We will walk through the marbling set-up step-by-step from making the bath and mordant to mixing paints and preparing paper. We then will learn the five foundation patterns and venture into advanced patterns as time permits. By the end of class, you will have the knowledge and confidence to start marbling at home…not to mention many beautiful marbled papers as well!
The class fee includes all materials (paper, carrageenan bath, alum, distilled water, paints, use of tank and tools, and handouts) ~ just show up and have fun!
NEW!! Advanced Marbling
(6 hours)
Date Options: Sunday, June 25
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (includes ½-hour BYO lunch/break)
Class fee: $235 (includes all marbling supplies, paper, and other materials to marble on...option for students to bring additional materials or purchase from me)
Location: my private studio in South Pasadena
Minimum of 5 students, maximum of 6
For those who have taken my Beginning Marbling class (or who have marbling experience), this class is for you! Building upon foundation patterns, we’ll work exclusively in the large, 20"x25" tank and dive into more advanced traditional patterns (like Bouquet, Flame, and Spanish Marble), learn how to use dispersant (for Italian Vein and Fantasy), and marble on nontraditional materials (like corkboard and canvas) as well as 3D objects.
If you have any questions or to sign up, email to me at Cheers@BarbSkoog.com.
Hope to play at the tank with you soon!
