I’m a Sussex based artist practicing the meditative art of Japanese paper marbling for 10 years+. I offer 1.5-2 hour workshops where I guide my students through this relaxing, hypnotic, creative technique and surrender into the natural flow state of water. Everyone goes home with unique prints of their marbling journey and a skill they can replicate at home.

Relax into your creative flow state whilst you learn the meditative art of Japanese paper marbling on a two hour workshop with artist and educator Lisa Ibbetson. Lisa takes care to create a joyful, supportive environment within which people can let go of any creative inhibitions and flow with their own creativity journey. Marbling Workshop Suminagashi paper marbling is a thousand year old Japanese technique. Using various techniques the inks are applied to the surface of the water. This begins a process of flow where the shapes of the ink continue to evolve in soft, elegant, infinitely decorative forms. At a chosen point a print can be made by transferring the liquid pattern from the surface onto paper or card, capturing a moment in time. This democratic, inclusive ancient art form facilitates people from all walks of life to connect with their creativity, focus and attention. Each participant goes home more confident in their creativity, with unique prints and greeting cards of their own marbling journey and a creative mindful skill they can replicate at home. Up to 20 people over 12’s only. Perfect for zen hen’s or wellness days. Based in Brighton but can & will travel :)
