Silk Scarf Water Marbling Workshop

In Aetheria Studio has a new workshop on offer, a more intimate experience than the classic water marbling on fabric workshop. Same mesmerising water marbling but with a large, beautiful, hand-marbled silk scarf as the focus of your end result!

You will learn how to make your very own printed silk scarf via the art of water marbling. Guided by your teacher, you'll learn the basics of water marbling, with an emphasis on developing your unique expression.

There is some time to practise in a smaller 70x70cm marble bath, with paper included if you wish! If you would like to also transfer onto fabric that size, this may be added on too.

This time is provided to familiarise yourself with the ink application and explore what colour palette you’d like to hone in on as well as what pattern you’d like to go with for your main piece.

Once you have had some practice you can then move on to creating the print for your 70x180cm silk chiffon scarf and applying the ink into a 70x200cm marble bath.

Due to the large size of the baths, spaces in this class are limited, with currently two baths available.

These can be booked in with a variety of options, which are as follows:

• One person to one bath
• Two people to one bath: This is a cost-effective option if you have a marbling buddy you wouldn’t mind sharing the experience with! Just select “add a marbling buddy” in the optional add-ons section for $100 for the second person - that's 60% off! You are then welcome to either marble the same scarf together or take turns and add another scarf which can also be found in the optional add-ons section.
• Four people to two baths: If you have a group of four and are happy to share, same instructions as above, just doubled! (2x guests, 2x add a marbling buddy’ add-ons)
• Two people to two baths: One bath each and a private session - a luxe experience indeed! Just book in as two guests.

Note: In Aetheria Studio is up a flight of 13 steps.

• Silk Pongee 70x70 silk scarf ($50)
• Silk habotai scarf 70x70cm ($55)
• Postage ($12)
• Add a marbling buddy ($100)

The class is beginner-friendly; however, if you find transferring onto a large piece of silk daunting for your first time, you may prefer to book into our original water marbling workshop.
