Turkish Paper Marbling Workshop

   In the 15th century, Persians and Turks used a thickened water and combed their designs in a process called "Ebru". It spread around Europe but it was not until the 19th century that written instructions about the marbling process was available. The craft became an obscure book art in this country until the craft movement in the 1970's.
   I have been paper marbling for 20 years and teach marbling classes at my studio. If you would like to try the fun art of Paper Marbling please contact me at my website at http://www.gailslighthousecards.com
