What is Paper Marbling?

Paper marbling is a mono-printing technique where colours are deposited onto a gelatinous size.

Utilising a stylus, rakes and combs the pattern is made on the surface of the size. Paper treated with alum is then carefully laid onto the surface of the size. The pattern is then transferred onto the paper which is removed from the size.

Each pattern made is therefore unique.

The surface of the size is then skimmed with a strip of paper to remove the remaining colours.
The process is repeated for the next pattern.
