PAPER MARBLING with NATALIE STOPKA!
Get creative with color and pattern! Paper marbling is a delightfully fluid way to design, utilizing paint floating on the surface of thickened water. Join artist and educator Natalie Stopka in the studio to learn the fundamentals of paper marbling. We’ll prepare the marbling tray, mix paints, and explore techniques for manipulating our designs. After printing, use the included templates to turn gorgeous marbled paper into envelopes, party hats, or party crackers.
In this workshop, Natalie takes us through every step of the paper marbling process, starting with preparing our paper using a mordant. We then learn to mix paints and prepare our size (the viscous liquid that goes in our tray). Natalie shares several historic marbling techniques and teaches us how to play with designs for a polished result
TUSCANY CROCHET BAG with KSENIA NAIDYON!
Crochet the perfect raffia bag, great for everyday use and designed to travel without losing its shape. In this workshop, Ksenia Naidyon of Life is Cozy teaches us how to crochet the Tuscany Bag, inspired by summers in the Italian countryside and designed with wearability and comfort in mind. This classic carrier consists of two identical halves, worked in-the-round, and joined as you crochet so there is no seaming needed.
The kit includes everything needed to craft our dream tote. The plant-based raffia works much like yarn, and an elastomer rubber crochet hook allows our hands to crochet stitches comfortably. Millinery wire helps the bag keep its shape, and stitch markers keep track of the rounds.
Here’s a sneak peek:

It has brought together experienced makers and has asked them to curate a unique box of tools and materials to build something beautiful. For $65 a month, you will receive everything you need to make something new and an online workshop will help you along the way. Also, every month is not only a different project, but a different craft altogether!
