Our first Paper Marbling Workshop was inspirational!
During the course of the 2 days, our expert Norwich-based tutor Victoria Hall nurtured the group through an amazing journey from monochrome marbled papers to the glorious colour ones shown above. By the end of the second day, everyone was exhausted but totally captivated by this incredible subject.
Date now finalised for Paper Marbling Workshop: 17th & 18th May 2012
NEW WORKSHOP - Orient-inspired Paper Marbling on 19th & 20th April 2012

Paul Garcia (from Suffolk) was one of the participants in our first Paper Marbling Workshop run by the inspirational expert tutor Victoria Hall. He has very kindly sent me these photos of some of his marbled papers he has made into a book.
His very impressive and detailed technical explanation is included below.
Fabulous!
The book is ten quarto white cartridge paper signatures hand sewn on three tapes with French lacing. The endbands are handmade in red and blue silk on a hemp core, tied down in every signature. The binding is a library binding using exposed cloth hinges with split boards, a 'two-on, three-off' Oxford hollow spine, half bound with navy buckram on the spine and corners. I had to use two pieces of the marbled paper, because the grain in the paper was along the length, which is why the back and the front are merely similar rather than the same! Also, you can just about make out my blind tooled ginkgo leaf motif on the buckram.

Our 2011 Felt Hat Making Workshop was a fantastic success!
Inspirational tutor Bridget O'Connell guided a great bunch of people to make some truly fabulous hats.
Hard work - but we had a really enjoyable and highly productive day.
All the hats shown left were made by complete novices - just goes to show what a great tutor, enthusiastic and creative participants plus some serious elbow grease can achieve.

'SEA EAGLE' Peach
finally returns to Norfolk
When we bought the remnants of Burlingham Hall's formal gardens about 7 years ago, there were 17 fruit tree labels still fixed to the walls of the Walled Garden... no trees, but 17 labels.
Most were predictable and current, i.e. trees we could easily find and replace, but one resisted identification: 'SEA EAGLE'.
finally returns to Norfolk
When we bought the remnants of Burlingham Hall's formal gardens about 7 years ago, there were 17 fruit tree labels still fixed to the walls of the Walled Garden... no trees, but 17 labels.
Most were predictable and current, i.e. trees we could easily find and replace, but one resisted identification: 'SEA EAGLE'.
Eventually, exposure at an online gardening forum got the information we sought... Sea Eagle was a peach from the famous Rivers Nursery (Conference pear, amongst others) last commercially offered in 1906. We put out a plea for anyone coming across one - at a stately home maybe - to put us in touch.
Fast forward... the plea for a Sea Eagle cutting made back in 2006 was finally answered by a Head Gardener in Scotland, who has a tree in their peach house. Grafting material arrived in the new year and 4 months on, we have (fingers crossed) several new Sea Eagles here at Burlingham for the first time in probably 75 years.
We'll be giving one of these plants away at our annual Burlingham Cottage Gardener's Association OPEN GARDENS DAY this June (Sunday 3rd June 10am-4pm) and have also offered one to the Rivers Collection.
