In May I took a one-day workshop on European marbling at the Ottawa School of Art. soo much fun...
Everything was ready for us... the mordanted paper, the carrageenan bath, the acrylic paint, the combs, the whips, all at our individual station! Ah... le bonheur.
Nancy F., our instructor and accomplished papermaker and marbler, intertwined demonstration and creation time with a given technique very well. All seven of us were working franticly, creating all kinds of patterns and color combinations. It was amazing to see everyone's paper in the drying racks. We each ended up with over 20 great prints.
Looking forward to another session with Nancy in the Fall!
