Paper Marbling for Everyone – Day 1 with Hampton Deck

Learn about the ancient technique of marbled paper and create your own sheets of marbled paper to take home. Each student will have their ownmarbling tray, set of acrylic paints, nails, rakes, and combs for use during the workshop. The instructor Hampton Deck will share classic paint patterns and alternate between demonstrating and helping students as they (learn to) do it themselves. You will produce many beautiful marbled papers for your own pleasure & use! Midway through the day Hampton will show a Powerpoint presentation on the history & variety of marbling.

There is a $30 Materials fee to be paid to the instructor on day of workshop.

Please bring a sack dinner & drink, so you can take a break and eat.

This is the 3rd time we have had Hampton back for a workshop!
About Hampton Deck:

Education: I learned to marble from Pamela Smith, a world renown marbler, at her studio in Abiqui, New Mexico, in July 2015. Pamela has marbled papers in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.  I have also taken classes with Regina & Dan St John of Chena River Marblers, who are also world renown marblers, and who also have papers in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.  I have also taken Ebru (the Turkish name for marbling) lessons in Istanbul, Turkey.

Experience: I set up my own marbling studio in my garage in Benicia, CA, shortly after learning the art from Pamela Smith. Since 2015 I have marbled literally thousands of sheets of marbled paper in my studio, and have taught many classes. In addition to marbling sheets of paper, I use my marbled paper to cover journals, datebooks, address books, etc., to make bookmarks and other paper creations. I also sell sheet of marbled paper.
