Britain's What's On Event Guide
INKredible Flow: An Introduction to Marbling
About the event:
Come and join us for an enchanting day of marbling. This traditional craft originated over 1200 years ago. In the UK, marbling has adorned books for centuries and is now experiencing a global revival. Over the course of the day, you will learn the fascinating history and basic techniques of marbling. We will begin with an introduction to marbling theory and explore a few beginner patterns. Using inks suspended on a water bath, you will create captivating designs that will be transferred onto various materials which you can take home including paper prints, leaves, pebbles, a fan, cotton, and glass. This inclusive workshop is a perfect chance to connect with like-minded individuals and enjoy a playful, creative experience with inks.
About the facilitator:
Charise Clarke from Marble Mad is an artist based in The Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. She started marbling in the pandemic and what started out as a hobby quickly became an obsession. Charise loves the sensory, intuitive, and meditative aspects of marbling. Instead of stressing about trying to draw something perfectly, you play with colour and pattern till you achieve an image that you like. There is no right or wrong and every piece is beautiful chaos, a one-off, that can never be recreated. This art form offers so much opportunity for exploration with the ability to marble materials such as paper, leaves, pebbles, bone, shells, glass, wood and fabric. The sky really is the limit.
