The instructor will demonstrate a variety of methods of how to throw paint on the size, how to manipulate the paint with nails, rakes, and combs, how to lay down the paper on the size, and how to wash & dry the marbled paper. Each student will have their own marbling tray, set of acrylic paints, and their own nails, rakes, and combs. The instructor will alternate between demonstrating and helping students as they do it themselves. Each student can work at their own pace. Every student will make a minimum of 4 sheets of beautiful, marbled paper. If students have previous experience, this class will allow them to practice their skills. On the following afternoon, Sunday, January 15, an advanced class with limited enrollment will be offered, in which the instructor will offer further instruction and demonstrate advanced techniques. Students who register for this class can also register for the advanced class.
