Description

Water Marbling with Textile Artist Mercedez Rex Join us for an evening of exploring water marbling at Batch Craft Beer (featuring an all day HAPPY HOUR!) with textile artist Mercedez Rex. Students will learn a brief history of marbling before diving in to experiment with basic techniques of manipulating paints on the surface of a water bath. Each participant will have their own marbling vat and time to engage in creative play and experiment with color combinations before transferring their designs to both paper and silk textiles. Mercedez Rex is an artist and creativity advocate. She believes that everyone has creative potential and that cultivating creativity is a worthwhile pursuit. Her goal in teaching workshops is to encourage others to tap into their own creativity. She does this first and foremost, by offering guidance and instruction on a craft she is passionate about but more importantly by fostering an environment that values playful experimentation and process over comparison, perfectionism, and fear of failure.
