After Workshop: Fabric Marbling
It was a fun and interesting learning experience -
Paper Marbling
The class was very good. The teacher was punctual, knowledgeable, helpful and organized. We had plenty of space to work. Marbling paper can be messy. It would be worth it to sign up again, just to have a convenient space to make more prints. -

Paper Marbling
My experience with the paper marbling class blew me away. Some of us students were new to the art and others were repeat customers who had taken the course before and wanted to hone their practice. In my opinion, the class was the correct size and duration for what we were learning, which Sheryl is clearly very passionate about. You will not find a more qualified teacher in the skill and her resume speaks for itself, yet she was also patient, instructive, and handled all our questions and slip ups gracefully. She balanced explaining the chemistry of the process with the artistry of it well; we were sent home with thorough instructions on how to do this at home, exactly what types of materials are needed, and so on. The art space itself was well-equipped to host the class; the only wrinkle was that I wish the signage and directions to the correct floor and room were slightly more detailed and clear, as the building is large. We had access to quality paints, utensils, and even some fresh paper Sheryl made for us herself! All in all, one of the best birthday presents I've ever given myself! I only wish it was a regular class each week or month instead of a one-time 6 hour commitment, as I would be keen to develop more skill with continued guidance. -

Paper Marbling: Suminagashi
No one else showed up to this class so I was lucky enough to have a private session with the teacher. I learned a tremendous amount in 3 hours and left with what felt like an entire body of work. The teacher had great respect for the history and traditional techniques used in suminagashi and demonstrated a variety of techniques. She gave very specific advice on what materials to use at home and where to get them. Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 hours of this class and would take it again. -
Marbled Cards
The class was relaxing, meditative, and non-intimidating. Kelly, the instructor, walks through the process in a fun and interactive way making it appear 'easy'. She and everyone in the class were kind and supportive of everyone's artistic journey and expression. It was a wonderful way to spend an evening connecting with new people. I thought the time would be too long, and it turns out I could have sat there for much longer! -

Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Loved this class. Mustapha is a wonderful teacher. So much fun and learned a lot. The small class size gave everyone a chance to make two pieces. Was just as interesting to marble the paper as it was to watch others. I look forward to taking more classes with him in the future. -

Super enjoyable and such a great intro to Turkish culture and Ebru marbling. The instructor is passionate about this art and is patient with all of the participants.

Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Extraordinarily beautiful two hour class. Mustafa slowly explained the history and tools used for the “face of water”==Turkish watermarbling as we nine participants were able to snack on great popcorn, tea, and coffee. He demonstrated the possibilities for the colors and designs creating three paintings. We then each were able to do one on our own although he would help with pulling the paper off of the water if one so desired. Definitely, a course I will return to with friends. -

Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
My wife and I loved this class! Mustafa was a great host and hands-on teacher who was was happy to answer any questions we had about the style of art (including how to do it on our own at home) - and all over snacks and Turkish tea too. If you are looking for a nonstop class of water marbling, look elsewhere, as the class is limited to one pan and one print per student, but if you want a fun, warm introduction to Ebru, look no further. -
Water Marbling: Ebru Art Course
Mustafa is very knowledgeable about ebru. He gave us a little history of the art. Next he demonstrated several techniques. Then the fun part. We each made our own marble paper. There were a dozen students in the class. Everyone had a different way of adding and stirring the paint, yet each paper came out wonderful. I would highly recommend the class. -
Paper Marbling
This course was really fun! There was a quick history section and demo in the beginning, and the rest of the class we had the freedom to make as many marbled papers as we desired. They also offered to mail everyone's works to their homes so that everything could dry overnight in the studio. Would definitely take this class again! -
