Inspired Marbling: Design & Make - Saturday, May 2, 2026

Location - Artcie Studio, 60 Railroad Avenue, South Hamilton, MA 01982

Immerse yourself in the timeless art of marbling, with two options for a finished project. This is a hands-on, one-day exploration of surface design guided by expert instruction and creative experimentation. Participants will learn foundational marbling methods of both Suminagashi and Western marbling with acrylics.

We’ll finish the day by transforming your marbled papers into either a piece of artwork to hang on the wall or a custom pillow—an opportunity to bring your designs into a finished, functional form.

*Cost includes materials fee
