Suminagashi Paper Marbling

Join artist Pam Martinez for a 2-hour introduction to suminagashi paper marbling. Suminagashi is the ancient Japanese practice of creating interesting ink patterns on the surface of water for paper decoration. After sharing a brief history of the art form, Pam will conduct a demonstration. You will then create your own unique marbled paper, leaving with at least 10 beautiful suminagashi images!

Pamela Martinez has been teaching, studying and practicing the ancient art of marbling over ten years and is a member of the Sumi-E Society. Ms. Martinez provides Suminagashi instruction at the Botanic Garden in Glencoe, workshops for the Sumi-E Society, Gilda’s Club and individual lessons. The Artist believes the spiritual practice of Suminagashi teaches the importance of self expression, provides the mystery of an undetermined result and includes the use of various techniques to challenge the imagination.
