Marble Paper with Garden-Inspired Colors

Description

Friday, August 15, 2025 | 10 am - 1 pm

Learn the art of Suminagashi – a Japanese technique that uses special inks floating on water to marble paper, resulting in free-flowing abstract prints. These marbled papers are beautiful on their own as standalone artworks and make excellent additions to collages, scrapbooks, and more! In this workshop, participants will explore this unique and accessible technique to marble paper with colors inspired by the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. Students will start by creating several marbled paper prints in swirling floral colors. Then, they’ll experiment with using masking fluid to craft “negative space” botanical designs on some of their prints. By the end of the workshop, students will walk away with a collection of marbled papers and at least one “negative space” botanical image, combining masking fluid and Suminagashi techniques!
