Intensive Water Marbling Course

Of course, this Meetup group is for folks of all levels of ability and interest in water marbling. If you are one of those who has been "bitten" by the beauty and wonder of this art and see the potential it has to offer, and/or if you have ever dreamed of running your own business, this 32-hour intensive course may be for you!

When my husband Phil and I first started Mayu Silk Art in 2014, people immediately started asking us about franchising. We didn't think that corporate ladder thing was for us, so we came up with our Business in a Box(BIAB) concept. We think this is a lot simpler, and definitely a lot more affordable! The real magic of this art form is that literally anyone can do it, and we believe the same is true when it comes to setting up a water marbling business, as long as you have the right tools, guidance, and understanding of this specific type of business.

We've been doing these classes for just over a year now, and it just keeps getting better! We are now happy to offer rolling enrollment - choose the dates that work best for you!

DOES THIS REALLY WORK? YES!

In the last 14 months, 18 people have completed the course. One is selling her water marbled silk ties and scarves like hotcakes at the famed Sawdust Festival. Another is running a successful Etsy business with her daughter, and a third has found success using her garage as a marbling studio and selling her finished designs to customers at her hair salon. A lovely couple took the class simply as a fun birthday experience, and have continued to enjoy time in our marbling studio making items for their friends and family. Another student booked 22 art show events in her first season, and yet another had orders for her hand-painted silk fabric after posting just one photo of her class work on Instagram. Several have opted to build a strong customer base through a combination of art shows, private parties, and corporate events. All of our students are growing their art in their own way, and sharing the experience together with other students is one of the best part of this class.

Of course, uniqueness is our mantra, and each individual or couple/partnership will design and create their own business model. This is NOT a franchise, nor is it a get-rich scheme or multi-level marketing pyramid. This is a cutting-edge concept born out of an ancient art and tried and true business practices. We will give you practical, hand-on guidance in the use of the tools and materials; we will help you identify potential pitfalls and obstacles; and we will share the best practices we have learned along the way as we established and built our unique brand. As a participant in this class, you will have access to 6 months of additional consultation as you build YOUR OWN ART-BASED BUSINESS, YOUR OWN BRAND, and you will be YOUR OWN BOSS.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? If you need more information, please give Star a call at (949) 424-3458 to get answers to all your questions regarding this amazing opportunity.
