Let's Marble Paper!

​Prepare to have some fun learning how to marble paper for this coming Monday's live class! We will explore traditional marbling, as well as Suminigashi, a Japanese style of marbling. 
Marbled papers are great to use in collages, papercrafts, greeting cards, origami, and bookbinding. 
You will need to gather some supplies, and some of them may come from the kitchen or the laundry room!

Supplies

• Acrylic paints, watercolors or inks in a few colors
• Large tub or tray at least 2" deep. A baking dish will work as well.
• Methylcellulose, cornstarch, or laundry starch to thicken water.
• toothpicks
• newspaper or newsprint
• Papers for marbling
• Alum for coating the paper (optional)
• Water
• Straw

Before class, thicken some water with starch. We will be using methylcellulose to thicken the water, and will pour it into a glass baking dish so the paints will float on top. Watch the inspiring video below to learn a little about the process!
