Japanese Paper & Fabric Marbling Workshop with Robert Mahar (February)

Date: Saturday, February 3, 2024 

Time:10AM - 12:30PM

 Location: County Fair Building, Recreation Room  

Workshop Description: 

Join artist and maker Robert Mahar in a playful introduction to suminagashi, a Japanese marbling technique that creates beautifully muted patterns of color to be transferred onto paper and fabric. Perfectly suited for beginners, participants will learn best practices for working with these specifically formulated floating inks and creative ways to manipulate them on the surface of a water bath. The resulting marbled designs will be captured on a variety of papers and silk handkerchiefs--and instruction will include discussion of the numerous ways you can incorporate these marbled materials into future projects.  This class will be held in the Recreation Room of the County Fair Building - located adjacent to the main entrance of the San Francisco Botanical Garden.
