This class is an introduction to Paper Marbling. Various forms of Paper marbling have been practiced in Japan and China as early as the 12 century. Paper Marbling has been closely related to book arts since the 15th and 16th centuries, originating in Turkey and later throughout Europe. Paper Marbling requires using whisks or other tools to drop paint over a thickened sizing. After laying the paper on the sizing surface, the colors and patterns are transferred to the paper piece, creating a unique one-off print.
