Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the Book Arts class at my alma mater, Clark University where I was a guest artist and taught the class Suminagashi marbling. The class went really well – twelve participants marbled over a hundred sheets of paper!
Me demonstrating for the class
Check out the gallery to see some lovely suminagashi in progress – I had a great time and hopefully so did everyone else.

Can this be done with neck ties?
I WANT TO LEARN THIS.
Mike D! I bet it can be done with silk neck ties – next time you swing around the cod I’ll show you!
