Water Marbling Workshop

Mesmerising morphing inks captured on wearable fabric!



2 hours

Class size 1 to 12 (public classes), 4 to 15
  $125 (Afterpay available)

This water marbling workshop with In Aetheria introduces you to the vivacious art of water marbling, as uniquely applied in all printmaking seen in the brand's clothing and products.
Amanda takes you into her approach to the art and facilitates the session whilst allowing ample time for exploration into how you wish to approach your creation -- there is no right or wrong way!
Once the basics are relayed, feel free to play with the inks in the marbling bath which offers quite visually stimulating, video share worthy footage!
Attendees are welcomed to first experiment and play with how they wish to apply inks to the marbling baths, honing in on their preferred techniques and colour palettes, which can be transferred onto paper for practice. (Which also make great gift cards!)
When they feel ready, they are then welcomed to create their marbled masterpiece/s!
the mesmerising way the inks morph and move provide quite a therapeutic nature to the whole experience.
This workshop is truly special in how you are provided with the materials prepped beforehand via a mordanting process using potash alum. This enables the creation of your own wearable art on fabric that is completely wash-fast after the ink dries, is rinsed, and then ironed to set permanently.
The fabric probably won't dry in time to take home so you are either welcome to come back another day to pick it up, or you may select to have your pieces mailed out to you as an optional add on.
The fabric must be also be rinsed after the ink has transferred, and then ironed. If you would prefer this be done by Amanda, this is an optional add-on.
This water marbling class is perfect for any group or solo event. Whether you're trying something new with a friend or looking for romantic date night ideas, gather your loved ones along to this relaxing class.
Please note:
  • In Aetheria studio is up a flight of 13 steps.
  • Postage is mainly required if you have selected a larger 180cm length scarf or fabric piece and you are unable to return at a later date, and/or if you have chosen the add-on for Amanda to rinse and heat set at the studio and cannot return another day to pickup.
  • Class times may vary sightly due to amount of attendees, the time you give yourself to approach the marbling bath, and the amount of optional add ons chosen (which can also be added once you arrive at the studio). It is quite a free flowing approach.
Be ready to let go and just relax!

  • 5/5 from Alison Gembarovski, attended Jul 2026: This class was fantastic! The class went so quickly even though we had two hours there. Amanda showed us how to do it and gave us some examples and was really helpful about the colours and techniques. We only had three in the class so it felt like a 1:1 experience. Amanda is really passionate about the technique and teaching, so it made for a wonderful 2 hours. I made some prints on paper, cotton and a silk scarf all of which she is posting to me when dry. Highly recommend. Will be returning.

  • 5/5 from Liz Coffey, attended Jul 2026: What a great class, teacher was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed doing water marbling dropping ink into a water seaweed bath, learning how to create different effects and treasured results to take home. We will frame our work would look great on a wall but you could make a scarf or there was optional extra things you could decorate. You could buy kits there too and buy cards and framed pictures as well. Would definately recommend.

The woman giving the workshop was friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging and very patient. Creating different designs using a broad range of beautiful colours and techniques was a lot of fun. The atmosphere within the studio was very relaxed and there was something quite soothing and satisfying about this type art making. We each made our very own unique creations. I loved that there were many items to chose from for us to transfer our creations to. My daughters and I are looking forward to receiving our silk scarves in the post. Amanda was happy to facilitate this as we live quite a distance away and our work needed time to dry. Thanks for a fantastic experience Amanda.
