Bell House

Learn how to create marble designs on paper

The Japanese art of “Suminagashi” or “Ink Floating” dates back as early as the 12th Century and the art of marbling eventually travelled to Europe through Persia and Turkey. It became so popular in Britain in the C19th that Marble Guilds were set up, each perfecting their own formulas and techniques which Master Marblers took great pains to keep secret. No secrets here at Bell House though, come along and experiment with a simple “at home” method for creating beautiful unique marble designs on paper. Marbled paper can be used for card making, collage work, book decoration, wrapping paper - and so much more. Materials are all included and tea/coffee will be provided.

About the Artists/Workshop Leader:The session will be run by Sarah Wetherall, a local artist whose range is broad - from murals to miniatures she has painted in a variety of media and styles. Sarah is an experienced art tutor who has run classes at nearby Dulwich Picture Gallery for many years.
