Our Messy Artist Public Classes are designed for Ages 6-12 to explore their inner artist. Each Class we offer a different monthly mess, a new art technique to learn and a new mess to make!

In this class we discover all the ways to put marbling on paper surfaces. Then we make the marbled sheets into new things, like Origami or bookmarks. Marbling originated in Japan in around the twelfth century. Some believe it was discovered by accident by someone in the Japanese imperial family who submerged sumi ink paintings in water, watched the inks float to the surface, then put a piece of paper on the floating ink, lifted it up and preserved the image.
