I had a great day at Freya's paper marbling course. Apart from learning a brief history of the art, we learnt how to prepare the paper, mix and prepare the paint, and make the size in which we applied our paint colours. We had ample time to have a go at making our patterned paper, with splattering and using special implements to make varied patterns. I took home with me a range of patterned papers I had done, and I look forward to doing some more at home. Thank you, Freya and your delightful, calm dog Ludo.

Can't recommend this workshop highly enough. Freya was the best teacher - extremely knowledgeable, patient and lovely. It was the most mindful, fulfilling day I've had in ages, thoroughly enjoyed every minute. So interesting to be taken through the history before learning the techniques. I feel like I'm quickly going to get hooked on marbling and can't wait to book on the intermediate course!

I had the best time taking part in this workshop. Everyone was so friendly, coffee/tea on tap, a relaxed atmosphere and just a lovely environment for learning and creativity. Freya is a great teacher. The pace of the class was just right... enough information for us to understand the process and begin to identify behaviours of the different materials, with quick demos and then plenty of time to practice. She makes it look so easy! Looking forward to receiving my pieces in the post, and excited to make use of the kit I bought to use at home. Thanks so much!

I really enjoyed the Paper Marbling workshop at Paperwilds. I'd wanted to do it for some time and it didn't disappoint. Freya was really lovely and helpful, she explained the process really well and was a great teacher. The process is really fun and strangely relaxing because you get so into it. There's so much potential to experiment with different colour combinations and patterns. I hope to come back at some point to do the advanced course.

Wonderful class & lovely teacher ! I had done a shorter course last year with another vendor and wanted a longer more in depth course and this fitted the bill perfectly and exceeded expectations. Very high quality paints and papers were provided, the type of paint allowed a more controlled approach to what I had experienced before. I have received my papers through in the post and I am delighted with the results. Freya is very highly skilled and has indepth knowledge of her paints and materials. If you are on the fence whether to book this - go for it - working with these colours is very therapeutic & mind opening ! The atmosphere provided with Freya's friendly other half and dog was lovely, tea and nice music :) thanks again Freya !

Brilliant workshop, crammed in so much yet didn't feel rushed and got to explore all of inner creativity. Can't wait to receive the papers we made in the post. Perfect of a complete beginner but flexible enough to be stretch for those who have a bit of skill already.

The class was such an amazing learning experience. We were taught how to prep paper, paints, the moss bath and loads of different techniques. Our teacher was so friendly, had time for everyone and was generous with materials and tricks of the trade. Really makes me appreciate marbling as a proper artisan skill !

A really lovely class to learn a variety of paper marbling techniques. Friendly, knowledgable instructor, nice facility, and ample chance to experiment with them. Highly recommended!
