Join us for a two-day, hands-on workshop exploring the art of paper marbling and bookbinding. Create your own hand-marbled paper, then use it to decorate a small, hand-stitched book (approximately 4 × 6 inches). Choose from a variety of colors and patterns, and feel free to bring decorative paper from home to make your book uniquely yours. No prior experience or special skills are required. Access to Glencairn’s first floor is included in the workshop fee.
