Over marbling instruction by @rhashby during an Oct 22-23 workshop for The School for Bookbinding Arts in Winchester, VA. Mr. Ashby is over marbling an @destinationstjohns map of St John’s Canada that he recently acquired during a teaching gig in Newfoundland which was promoted by @vanlcarfac for the Tara Bryan Legacy Fund. Tara Bryan was a renowned letterpress printer and book artist whose work is in collections worldwide including @vamuseum and @womeninthearts. The late Ms Bryan was a resident of St John’s and member of @rca.arc . Over the course of her career, she was the recipient of several @canada.council grants along with numerous awards of merit. Robin Ashby was honored to lead a marbling workshop to promote Tara Bryan’s legacy.

The Tara Bryan Legacy Fund supports and promotes book arts knowledge in Newfoundland and Labrador. Oct 3 and 4 we had 20 enthusiastic participants learning the basics of paper marbling with @rhashby. Robin is our 4th annual special guest to offering workshops and talks in the book arts sphere to our local community. Paper marbling was a hit and we are holding onto the supplies in case we can do another workshop like this in the future!

See it here how the shell marbled pattern is made with acrylics! Marbling instructor @rhashby demonstrates acrylic shell pattern in our recent Intermediate Marbling class. Experienced marblers will gather here next September for Advanced Marbling workshop and Tigers Eye Intensive with @rhashby . Robin Ashby developed the paint mixture that allows shell pattern to form with acrylic pigments. Prior to his research, the shell pattern could only be created with watercolor pigments, and most marblers these days prefer to work with acrylics over any other type of pigment. Acrylic shell is but one pattern developed by this master marbling innovator.

Continuing our daily artist highlights in honor of our two-year anniversary ✨ An artist, writer, and historian, Robin is dedicated to honoring the rich tradition of marbling while expanding its possibilities through modern materials and innovative approaches. By extending age-old techniques into new forms of artistic expression, Robin bridges past and present with a color-driven vision all their own. As captured by Gustav Mahler, “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire”—a sentiment that reflects Robin’s passion for celebrating the energy of marbling’s masters while forging a path forward.

Reflecting on this last year, we feel enormous gratitude for the ongoing support of our community, and the opportunity to connect and grow in so many new ways. We had the joy of seeing Claire’s Birds of a Feather Book released into the world, named one of the Top 10 Photobooks of the Year by Smithsonian Magazine, our dear Dolly took a step closer towards a lifelong dream with the certification of our farm kitchen for baked goods and confection, and we had the opportunity to create with old and new friends, through the inkblots, marbled paper, handmade soap, dance, botanical art, picnics, tributes to Anna’s Oak and more. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and encouragement through all of it. In the next few weeks we will be sharing what we have coming up at the farm, and for now, a look back at the gifts of the past year.
