Learn the art of marbling, and then utilize it to create a unique book of your own. You will spend your first day learning traditional and contemporary paper marbling. The second day, use your hand marbled paper as a cover for a small book. You will learn a coptic-style binding, which will allow your book to lay flat when open. At the end of the weekend, you will walk away with both an understanding of marbling and having dipped your toes into the art of the book.
