About the event
Paper Marbling & Stab Binding: A Study in Creative Chaos
Presented by Bad Dog Arts
Dive into a class that is a little bit science, a little bit chaos, and exactly the kind of creative trouble Bad Dog Arts is known for. This four-week workshop invites you to embrace the "happy accident" as you master two distinct, ancient crafts to create a book that is entirely your own.
We begin with the hypnotic art of paper marbling. You’ll watch colors float, swirl, and dance on the water’s surface before capturing those fleeting patterns onto paper forever. Once you’ve curated your gallery of one-of-a-kind prints, you’ll learn the art of stab binding. This satisfyingly tactile stitching technique transforms loose sheets into elegant, sturdy journals with a slightly rebellious edge.
Whether you’re a seasoned maker or a total beginner, come prepared for bold patterns, a few well-placed holes, and a finished masterpiece…
