About the TUTOR "I have 40+ years’ experience as a computer programmer and many years learning and practicing the ancient arts of Calligraphy, Bookbinding and Paper Marbling. While these two areas of skill are very different, together. they allow me to create both traditional pieces of art and contemporary digital artworks. I began Marbling more seriously about 20 years ago and it has become my favourite art. I use it for traditional bookbinding, but also for textiles such as caps, hats, scarves and shoes."
