Learn how to transform a sheet of paper into an iridescent wonder with shining hues of copper, silver, bronze, gold and pearl! In the world of Paper Marbling, metallics are rare due to the heavier weight of the paint; as it must float perfectly on the surface of the water bath. The use of rakes and combs is also tricky, as one must carefully manipulate the movements of these heavy paints in order to achieve the desired effects without sinking or breakage. During the morning s...ession the class will learn how to handle these paints, and Pietro will introduce new and more intricate patterns. The class will also explore the exciting and unchartered territory of Over-marbling, where one pattern is superimposed upon another to create a magnificent and complex play of pattern. Class takes place on Sunday, March 8, 10am-5pm.
