About This Workshop
Following a successful 2024 class, Alan is taking on the challenge again to provide the basics for marbling as it applies to turned objects. In this hands-on class, Alan begins 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, students will tackle the challenges of 3D round objects like small bowls and vessels. Alan will introduce students to both a submerging approach and a rolling method. Everyone will need to bring items to marble, as time will not allow for turning while in the class, which will be included in the tool list.
