Paper Marbling

Printing & Book Arts :: Workshop :: Summer 2010 session

Instructor(s): Roxanne Kuliner
Class Description: Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as “sizing”, and then carefully transferred to a sheet of paper. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype.
