Stop by the Academic Quad and keep your eyes peeled for Claire Ashley’s lively, neon-scaped inflatables. Look high, low, left, and right then get inspired to make your own colorful creations! Learn this fun, easy (and slightly messy) process for creating vibrant marbleized paper using watercolor and shaving foam.
