In this workshop at her home studio Merve will introduce you to the traditional method of marbling which uses carrageenan size to float pigments on water. With her instruction you’ll get to try this and a couple of traditional techniques to create lots of sample patterned papers.You will then have the time to experiment with the marbling techniques you’ve learned to create some of your own fantastic pieces of marbled art.
You will leave with all your lovely samples, a handout explaining how to continue your journey and all the recipes used to create the different marble baths.
This fabulously fun and relaxing course will include Turkish Classic Music, Turkish Delight and Turkish tea and coffee.
The workshop is suitable for complete beginners and experienced marblers but may not be appropriate for vegetarians/vegans as some animal products will be used.

All tools and materials to make a selection of marbled papers, tea,turkish coffee and turkish delight.
Host & Everything Else
Thanks for your email and yes I would do the event again. The organiser supplied nice Turkish tea and coffee plus biscuits, was very pleasant and brought a nice present for my mother.
Excellent workshop, definitely recommended for anyone interested in craftwork. An eye-catching item can be made in just a few minutes by someone with no experience and no particular ability — that’s my type of craftwork! Maeve and her husband looked after us very well, with a film presentation to start, and English tea and coffee as well as the Turkish variety.
I really enjoyed the event. The girl was clearly knowledgeable on what she was doing and we all made some really good marbled patterns.
