The tradition gave rise many moons later to the European tradition Jessica draws on: in the 18th and 19th centuries, workshops across France, Germany, and Italy standardized classic patterns like nonpareil, peacock, and the Spanish wave for fine book endpapers and covers. Though the heavy hand of technology has since mechanized most sheet printing, artisans like Jessica, and you after this experience, can keep this fantastic technique alive and well today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKindly note that due to the intimate nature of the workshop and limited number of reservations available, all ticket sales are final and non-refundable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PORTA Makers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48585320300762,"sku":"ASU_WKSHP","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/0426\/0314\/files\/PaulineChatelan-Ansuini_CoxEricaTanov-film-38.jpg?v=1789494286","url":"https:\/\/porta-nyc.com\/products\/porta-x-ansuini-co-marbling-workshop","provider":"PORTA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
