its origins in Japan to Persia, Turkey and then Europe in the
seventeenth century. Details on equipment and materials are given

process from preparing the size, to adding the paints, creating the
pattern and then treating the sheets is covered in detail. It
introduces traditional patterns such as spot and combed patterns,
as well as advanced techniques. Creative uses for marbling are
given including step-by-step sequences for a range of projects.
Making Traditional Marbled Papers is a visual treasure and shows
