Hand Marbled Paper: An Endangered Craft
Made using heritage techniques, each sheet is floated on a bath of colour, combed by hand, and lifted with care - so no two patterns ever repeat. Ideal for bookbinding, framing, stationery and special projects.

What is paper marbling?
Hand-marbled paper is created by hand swirling inks or paints on a carefully concocted, gelatinous mixture, then transferring the design to paper.
This ancient technique originated in Asia around the 12th century and was later refined in Europe, is used for bookbinding, decorative projects, and crafts because of its beautiful, non-repeating patterns.
Each sheet is a unique piece of art, though variations within a series are common.
