Come study with me in a two day workshop at the Morgan Paper Conservatory.

June 27-28
10 am - 4 pm each day

Learn intermediate to advanced techniques in marbling with this intensive workshop. Participants will explore pattern and design through advanced traditional patterns, double and triple marble techniques, marbling 3D objects such as hats, book blocks, and how and when to use additives. Participants also explore color combinations and marbling techniques through both traditional (Ebru) and non-traditional approaches. Participants are required to have previous marbling experience (at least one class) before taking this class.

All supplies are included in the price. However, students are encouraged to bring alternative objects and materials to marble if desired.

A huge thank you to everyone at Kalamazoo Book Art Center for a fantastic weekend, giving 100%, and all the students making such a beautiful marbled paper. I hope to return next year and bring the magic back one more time, but for now I really want to extend gratitude for this experience and to everyone who worked so hard this weekend!

Saturday & Sunday, June 13 & 14, 2026 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Instructor: Jennifer Omaitz
Marbling consists of suspending inks on a bed of thickened water (carrageenan). These inks are raked through a series of swirls, zigzags, and other gestures to transform a given design. The outcome is then printed, similar to mono printing, on a surface of choice.
Learn the ancient art of marbling on paper with this intensive workshop. Beginning with a historical overview and demonstrations, students will explore patterns and designs by marbling on a variety of papers. We will also explore color combinations and marbling techniques through both traditional (Ebru) and non-traditional approaches. A series of technique demos will guide students of all levels throughout the weekend. Beginner through intermediate students are welcome; previous experience with marbling is not necessary.

* Throughout the weekend, participants can expect to make 15-20 sheets of 18” x 24” marbled paper, in a variety of prints, patterns, and discoveries. (You won’t want to stop!)
All materials are included.

Teens/Adults, all levels
$225 + $35 materials fee = $260
