Fabric Marbling Intensive with Brittani Locke

Learn paper and fabric marbling with Brittani Locke. All-inclusive workshop at Blackthorne Resort with lodging, meals, tools, and materials. Discover the mesmerizing art of marbling in this engaging, hands-on workshop led by artist Brittani Locke. Using techniques rooted in the centuries-old traditions of marbled paper and book arts, participants will learn how to create intricate floating patterns and transfer them onto both paper and fabric, transforming color and movement into one-of-a-kind designs. Throughout the workshop, Brittani will guide students through the fundamentals of marbling, including color application, pattern development, the use of traditional marbling tools, and techniques for achieving successful transfers onto different surfaces. Students will work on both paper and small pieces of cotton, allowing plenty of opportunity to experiment with color, practice classic patterns, and become comfortable controlling the paint within the marbling tank. As skills and confidence develop, participants will gradually move on to larger and more challenging pieces, with the opportunity to marble on silk scarves. Students will build an understanding of the process, then translate their designs onto a finished wearable piece. With demonstrations, individual guidance, and plenty of time for experimentation, students will leave with a growing collection of hand marbled papers and fabrics and a deeper understanding of this endlessly versatile surface design technique.
