NOTE FROM SHEILA: I first met Victoria about 10 years ago when I attended a craft fair at Blickling Hall. I was so captivated by her work that I contacted her to come and run a course for us. She is a prolific producer, working on fantastic projects internationally and is currently marbling papers for the 'Highgrove Florilegium'. I will be doing this course myself as I would love to produce some raw material for my artworks - the wedding stationery in particular.
Do come and join me - I know it will be an exciting course.
Marbled papers appeal to all ages & can be made in many different ways using more or less complex methods. This course will provide an easy introduction to traditional style marbling using gouache & watercolour paints floated on carragheenan (which Victoria will prepare in advance). Participants will be able to make many familiar marbled paper patterns on the first day including stone, curl & comb designs, with further possibilities & the opportunity to explore their own ideas on the second day. You will have a large selection of papers to take away ready for use in bookbinding, card making, etc.
Marbled papers have been used for centuries to cover books & objects. The course will include a comprehensive introduction to the history of marbling & will be well illustrated with original handling material.
Victoria Hall began making decorated papers professionally in the late 1980's, having attained a degree in the History of Art & Architecture at the University of East Anglia. An acknowledged expert in replicating historic marbled papers used for restoration work she also loves creating unique richly coloured paste papers made by creating patterns in a layer of coloured starch paste applied to a sheet of paper. Both techniques can be attempted by novices to this craft and in her classes at The Studio@ Burlingham Hall, Victoria will demonstrate her work with samples and help participants to experience a variety of techniques and produce a varied portfolio of papers which can then be used in restoration work or other creative projects.
Victoria is a self-taught marbler who has had her own Norwich based business producing traditional papers since 1989. She produces a range of techniques and styles for antiquarian and contemporary applications, supplying clients and collectors worldwide. She has taught at West Dean College in West Sussex since 1995, done numerous workshops for the Society of Bookbinders, and led a series of public events at the John Rylands Library, Manchester.
