While their spouses attended meetings at the Omni Hotel downtown, many wives of TAPPI members visited the Robert C. Williams Museum located in the Paper Tricentennial Building.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs part of the visit, they were given an intimate look at the current special exhibit \u201cA Gathering of Continents,\u201d a rare exhibit of Georgia Tech\u2019s deluxe editions of Joan Blaeu\u2019s Grooten Atlas. They also tried their hand at artistry themselves, participating in a hands-on workshop involving Suminagashi, a Japanese paper marbling art form, meaning \u201cink floating on water.\u201d\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVirginia Howell, education curator at the museum, led the workshop.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this form, an individual uses one brush with ink, the other with a liquid which separates ink rings. The brush is touched to the surface of the water, and a circle is formed. The artist will alternate between the two brushes, creating concentric circles of ink. \u0026nbsp;Artists then blow, fan, or manipulate the surface to create designs to transfer onto paper.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information about the museum, visit their \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ipst.gatech.edu\/amp\/\u0022\u003Ewebsite\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Visitors get hands-on experience in paper marbling"}],"uid":"28159","created_gmt":"2015-04-30 15:55:31","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:18:08","author":"Kelly Smith","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-04-21T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2015-04-21T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"400841":{"id":"400841","type":"image","title":"TAPPI Spouses Visit Robert C.
