All materials included.
Our workshop will commence with a brief history of ebru art and review of the tools & materials. We will first start practicing with a few examples of marbled patterns on paper to become familiar with the process. We will learn how to use different tools and techniques to achieve stunning effects and designs on the leather and then we will marble our genuine sheep leather piece that will cover A5 size papers (14.85 x 21cm paper size / 16 x 23cm leather size).
While our leather pieces are drying, we will have a 15-minute break to enjoy a couple beverages. I will then walk you through the sewing process to complete your journals. You will choose from a range of colourful waxed threads, suede leather cord strings and multi-coloured wooden beads.
You can then proudly display your journal at home or give it as a gift to someone special after applying a protective varnish.
*As an add-on, you can choose to make another journal. If you’ve purchased this add-on or decided to purchase during the workshop, you will have an additional leather piece to marble along with other materials to complete your second journal at home.
