Inksanity: An introduction to Water Marbling

Come and join us for an enchanting evening of Marbling, guided by Charise. This traditional craft originated over 1200 years ago. In the UK, marbling has adorned books for centuries and is now experiencing a global revival.

In the 2-hour session, you'll learn the fascinating history and basic techniques of marbling. We'll begin with an introduction to marbling theory and explore a few beginner patterns. Using inks suspended on a water bath, you’ll create mesmerizing designs that will be transferred onto various materials which you can take home including paper prints, leaves, pebbles and a fan. The workshop is fun and inclusive for all abilities - the perfect chance to connect with like-minded individuals and enjoy a playful, creative experience with inks.

Charise 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."

Tea, coffee and squash will be provided as well as all equipment and materials.

We look forward to seeing you and sharing the magic of marbling!
