Mindful Marbling Workshop Reviews

4.5 Rating 2 Reviews

This is a fun activity in Brighton and Hove, Brighton

Step into a world where time slows down and everyday distractions fade away, through the meditative art of Suminagashi: ancient Japanese Paper Marbling.

Suminagashi means "ink on water, " and in this serene practice, water becomes canvas and ink becomes poetry. As your host and guide, Brighton artist Lisa Ibbetson welcomes you to an intimate creative journey that begins with herbal tea and the fascinating history of this ancient art form.

Through mindful guidance, you'll discover how Suminagashi naturally invites us to release expectations and embrace the beauty of impermanence. Watch as floating inks dance across still waters, creating hypnotic patterns that capture unrepeatable moments - each print a unique collaboration between artist and element.

No creative experience is needed - only curiosity and openness to possibility. As you watch your designs unfold, you'll find yourself naturally relaxing into a state of peaceful focus where creativity flows freely. This is the gift of Suminagashi - it gently guides us away from perfectionism into a space of mindful play and discovery.

Ideal for anyone seeking:
- A creative escape from daily pressures
- An introduction to mindfulness through art
- A unique way to create one-of-a-kind art prints
- The joy of artistic flow without performance pressure

Suitable for ages 11+ (private family group bookings available for younger children - please enquire)
Join us for this serene journey into the art of slowing down and discovering beauty in the present moment.

Lisa hosted a great Mindful Marbling workshop. I loved the combination of a short meditation to begin with to set yourself up for the session and then the mindful practice of learning the art of Japanese Suminagashi marbling. For someone who has a tendency to be a bit of a perfectionist, I loved the way you can’t control or predict the outcome of this art form and had to just go with it. Lisa is a really calm and encouraging teacher and I found the session both relaxing and enjoyable. I only wish I had more time to keep trying out different techniques as I got quite into it!
