This week in Art we did Marbling.
This decorative art form was favoured by the Victorians and has been used to decorate paper for centuries. You can see excellent examples on the inside cover of older books.
Marbling is a method of decorating paper or fabric to imitate marble and other stone where colour is suspended in a thickened liquid and manipulated into various patterns. Paper or fabric is then laid upon the mixture and the pattern prints onto the surface
What Do I Need To Do Marbling?
You will need the following Art Supplies:
– A large tray with deep sides, a foil roasting tin or plastic tub is ideal.
– A large jug of cold water.
– Marbling inks in different colours.
– Paper
– Cocktail sticks
