Participants will learn the basics of marbling paper using acrylic paint and look into some of the history of this decorative art form. Marbling involves floating colors on water and transferring designs onto paper. After learning the basic techniques, Maggie will guide us through figural marbling to create intricate designs like poppy flowers, birds, and other imaginative shapes and patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe art of paper marbling dates back to the 12th century in Japan, where it was known as \"suminagashi\" or \"floating ink.\" By the 16th century, similar techniques had spread to Persia and Turkey, where it adorned important manuscripts such as Qurans, book covers, and official documents. Today, marbled patterns also decorate stationery, boxes, and textiles, offering endless possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-token-index=\"0\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMaggie Paxton is a Greenpoint-based designer who incorporates a variety of practices into her work, including marbling, shoemaking, hand-crochet, and natural dyeing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: cf117634-b209-4aaf-8661-8e08a95ce3d5 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-token-index=\"0\"\u003eParts of proceeds will go towards a Gaza mutual aid fundraiser.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEDNESDAY JULY 24\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6:00 - 9:30 PM\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMaterials provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLimited capacity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eParticipants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e•\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCancellations made less than 72 prior to the workshop start date are not eligible for a refund.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlease note that all cancellations must be emailed to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" href=\"mailto:hello@stormbookstore.com\"\u003ehello@stormbookstore.com.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for your understanding with our cancellation policy.
