Show and Tell

I recently contributed to the Portland Mini Maker Faire '13.

Once again the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry(OMSI) hosted Make Magazine's Portland Mini Maker Faire. This was the second year I attended the faire, sharing the magic of ebru with Portland's future DIY enthusiast.

All weekend long I demonstrated the diverse beauty of Turkish paper marbling for the guest. I also set-up a hands-on demo area with multiple trays of size so people could try marbling for themselves.

Those whom chose to try their hand at ebru were able to embellished a print of the Maker Faire cat logo.

I even marbled a cat head too.

All and all the event was lots of fun, and I think a few new marblers were revealed.

-WORKSHOP UPDATE-
October 20th I will be hosting a paper and canvas marbling workshop at the Loaded Brush in SE PDX.


Peace & Love,
