&lt;p&gt;This workshop is family-friendly and perfect for adults and accompanied children.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Price includes $15 materials fee.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We will also learn how to use a stylus to “paint” on the marbling liquid and create images. Each participant will have several sheets of paper to practice these marbling techniques. In the second section of the workshop, we will create more refined and planned marbled prints on fabric and discuss the differences in preparation and application when it comes to marbling on fabric as opposed to paper.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
