IL PAPIRO EVENTS
We would like to share with you our time honoured craftsmanship of 'Carta Marmorizzata' - Hand marbled paper, with our customised and engaging events. Designed to showcase the beauty and uniqueness of this 16th century technique, each session invites you to explore your creativity hands-on whilst celebrating the Italian culture.
Surrounded by the scent of leather, paper and beautifully bound books, our events are held in store - our little piece of Florence tucked away in one of Melbournes laneways.
DEMONSTRATIONS IN CARTA MARMORIZZATA - XVI century technique of Hand marbled paper.
An aperitivo in the evening or caffe and pasticcino in the morning, will greet you upon arrival before we commence a brief history of paper marbling. Our demonstration will guide you through the preparation, mixture of colours and decorative methods of 'combing' and 'free form'.
Like artisans in our Florentine workshop, you will create your own sheets of Carta Marmorizzata! On completion, you have the option to take your masterpieces home or allow us to send it to our workshop in Florence to be transformed into a selected product from our range (additional cost for product). A presto!
Marbling events can be tailored for private groups, corporate events, birthdays, school groups or special celebrations.
