Suminagashi Taster: An introduction to marbling (evening workshop)

  • Bell House Dulwich 27 College Rd England, SE21 7BG United Kingdom (map)

Join local print-maker Alice Peake for this introductory workshop into the Japanese craft forms of Suminagashi. Within this evening workshop, you will unwind from the day with the soothing qualities of marbling which will result in finalised, hand-crafted papers that can be used for book binding, art display or scrap-booking. If you’re new to bookbinding and fancy creating cover papers towards a personal project, or just want to relax and learn a new print-making craft, then this workshop is perfect for you.
