Since the 12th century paper marbling has been an artistic and cultural practice throughout Central and East Asia. By treating a tray of water with a special medium, you can thicken the surface just enough to use lightweight acrylic paints or inks to dip and swirl otherworldly patterns directly onto the water’s surface.
This mesmerizing practice is as fun to watch as it is to do. After making your marbling pattern, you can simply dip your chosen substrate and pull it away to reveal your one-of-a-kind design.
One of the fascinating things about water marbling is no two designs will be alike. Since water marbling is a mono-printing process each print you make will be entirely one-of-a-kind. The surprise and unique quality of each design add to the mystique of this ancient art form.
The ancient art of marbling traces back over many generations. Although simple in technique (transferring colour designs from water to another surface) spectacular and unique results can easily be achieved. This superb kit will lead the way on your journey of marbling discovery.
