About this Workshop
Following several successful classes at MASW, Alan is taking on the challenge again of providing the basics for marbling as it applies to turned objects. In this hands-on class, students will begin by covering the fundamentals of marbling on paper (the historical tradition for marbling) and move to relatively flat turned objects (such as top bodies and plate rims). From there, Alan will demonstrate the challenges of 3D round objects, such as small bowls, pepper mills, and vessels. Alan will introduce students to both a submerging approach and a rolling method. Students will need to bring items to marble, as time will not allow for turning while in the class (details will be sent when you register).
