Description

In this class, explore the creative, meditative process of suminagashi-style paper marbling. You'll be guided through the history of suminagashi, a suminagashi demonstration, along with instruction on how to create a marbling set up at home, and you'll leave with a collection of swirling, organic, water-painted marbled papers, envelopes and cards perfect for letter writing and card sending. Connect to fluidity, ink, breath, creative practice, and nature. Kelly Laughlin (she/hers) is an artist, writer, and creative facilitator who focuses on the playful, meditative acts of making.
