Have fun while creating fascinating, one-of-a-kind patterns!

Marbling involves floating paints on a surface of thickened solution and manipulating them to create patterns. Using combs, brushes, sticks and other implements, you move paint drops around to make swirls, flowers, organic shapes etc. The possibilities are endless! Each dip results in a unique, beautiful pattern that transforms into abstract art!

Come enjoy and experience this rare and timeless art form. Be mesmerized as you watch fascinating patterns emerge through the process of creating your very own, one-of-a-kind work of art.
