Paper marbling is a centuries-old art form where paint is floated upon a shallow tank of thickened water and drawn through with various tools to create striking, fluid patterns, similar to smooth marble or other kinds of stone. The image is then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric. You’ve probably seen marbled papers in the end pages of books, or on a Kleenex box. Marbled paper, fabric, or wood can be used for collage, quilting, bookbinding, encaustic art, scrapbooking, art journaling, fiber art, and more. Materials Fee covers the use of all equipment, papers and paints.

Roann Mathias is an artist and educator who is experienced in a variety of media including abstract painting, photography, watercolor, and lettering. All of these varied interests can be seen in her art. Her work has been published in Somerset Studio Magazine, Letter Arts Review and Cloth Paper Scissors magazine. She taught calligraphy and mixed media workshops for several years throughout the U.S. and Canada. After receiving her MFA in 2015, she became an adjunct professor at Memphis College of Art and Southwest Tennessee Community College. Originally from New Orleans, the colorful architecture and plant life instilled in her a love of color and nature. Travels around the U.S. and Europe inspired her love of nature and the landscape. Influenced by her study of art history, she has drawn on abstract expressionism to create large gestural works.
