Overmarbling II – Seattle — Three-Day Intensive

Overmarbling II – Seattle — Three-Day Intensive Overmarbling II – Three-Day Intensive Advanced Overmarbling moves from layered pattern making into deliberate composition. Building directly upon the techniques developed in Overmarbling I, students will design and execute increasingly complex multi-stage papers in which successive layers are planned as parts of a finished whole. We will investigate more sophisticated combinations of pattern, scale, direction, color, masking, and controlled negative space. Students will explore selective overmarbling and methods of preserving, revealing, obscuring, and recontextualizing portions of earlier layers. Depending upon the composition, a sheet may return to the marbling tray multiple times as the design develops. Precision becomes increasingly important at this level. Students will be encouraged to work from a plan, analyze each stage before proceeding, and consider the finished sheet as a composed work rather than a succession of independent patterns. The resulting papers can be intricate, unexpected, and visually unlike conventional single-pull marbling. This is an experimental workshop, but the experimentation is purposeful: chance remains part of marbling, while increasingly sophisticated technique determines how that chance is used.
