Advanced Marbling Online SDBA


  • San Diego Book Arts (map)

Students will build upon their marbling skills with the introduction of new techniques like Overmarbling, where one pattern is superimposed on an existing pattern. New, more complex patterns will also be demonstrated. With the instructor’s guidance, students can work on classic patterns with more awareness for nuances in color harmony and pattern refinement.

Introduction to the world of metallic paint will add excitement to the class, as metallics are seldom used in marbling due to their weight being a factor in floating on the water bath. Pietro will assist in troubleshooting the common mistakes made when marbling, as well as dealing with the many known and unknown variables that affect this art form.
