Trans-Pecos Festival Workshop, MARFA, TX

In this workshop students will be introduced to the ancient art of water marbling- a centuries old mono-printing process that involves floating pigments on the surface of specially treated water. Austin artist Mercedez Rex, will cover a brief history of the craft and guide participants through how to achieve specific patterns using various tools. Each participant will have their own marbling vat and time to practice learned techniques and color combinations on both paper and silk textiles.
