SHAVING CREAM MARBLING with Peggy Minckler
July 14th @ 6:00 – 7:00 pm
Shaving cream marbling is a fun, artistic technique that creates unique, marbled patterns on paper or other surfaces by using shaving cream and water color paint. It’s a process of layering colors on a shaving cream base, swirling them together, and then transferring the design to a chosen surface. This method is popular for its ease of use, vibrant results, and the element of surprise with each print.
Each participate will create a “marbled” print on paper.
