Fee: $65/$58 members (all materials included)

Registration: Registration is now closed. For information on future workshops, sign up for our e-list.

Carey Watters continues her series of workshops at Lynden that introduce participants to a variety of techniques related to paper, from surface design to bookmaking. Participants will be able to begin with simpler processes, while those with some experience will explore more complex techniques and structures.

The workshops focus on paper marbling and book structures made from marbled paper. Marbling is a mysterious art form that is fun and accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Students will learn techniques for marbling paper and finish the day by making a book with some of their own marbled paper.

Bring a bag lunch and beverages and dress for the outdoors. We’ll be making use of Lynden’s 40 beautiful acres during our breaks, weather permitting. We have aprons, but please wear clothes suitable for artmaking.
