Event Overview

Plain fabric is transformed into beautiful, colorful pieces of art with hand marbling. In this class, Marbling is the process of floating paints on the surface of a thick cellulose solution (called "size"), somewhat like oil on water.

The floating paints are swirled into patterns. Then you capture your design with fabric. Some techniques that will be used include: setting up the marbling solution, color techniques, and the place and pull technique. Instructor will provide you with plain fabric for experimenting and the entire marbling set-up.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Instructor: Ilona Mestril
Ilona is a hobby crafter and has been teaching various crafts for 20+ years.

Organization: Urban Threads Studio, NFP

The world around us is changing quickly but our need for communal gatherings in a nurturing and creative setting is not. Urban Threads Studio is a D-I-Y (do it yourself) collaborative studio that hopes to introduce you to the wonderful ancient craft of sewing and textile art with a 21st century twist. You may just want to rediscover a skill you learned as a child, experience the calm energy of a day of crafting or pick up an altogether new or more advanced skill like dyeing or felting. Our program hopes to accomplish all that and much more. All of our classes are offered at a nominal fee and all proceeds are used to bring textile arts to urban youth in Chicago in form of after school programs, summer programs, and internships.
