The art of marbling paper has been historically associated with the craft of bookbinding. The technique of marbling involves creating a multi-colored pattern of paint that floats on the surface of a gel-like medium. Paper or fabric is then laid on the surface to pick up the floating paint and transfer the design. This pack allows students to create elegant patterns on fabric or paper. The pack comes with: eight (2 oz.) bottles of Jacquard Marbling Colors, alum for treating the paper or fabric), methocel, cotton fabric (two yards of 61" cotton sheeting), eight droppers for applying paint and easy-to-follow instructions.
