Richly illustrated with some of the most beautiful paper marbling today, this inspiring book introduces a wonderful craft to a new generation.

The ancient art of paper marbling is enjoying a revival, and contemporary artist Lucy McGrath shares her passion for the craft that is her specialty. Using step-by-step instructions, stunning photographs, and some of the most beautiful paper marbling today, McGrath guides beginners on a creative journey. She discusses everything from preparation and equipment (complete with paint recipes), to planning your design, applying paint, and creating a range of patterns--including swirls, nonpareil, hearts, flowers, and ebru (painting on water). As marblers' skills grow, they can try out more complex techniques such as marbling onto three-dimensional items. And, for inspiration, there's a selection of projects featuring bookbinding, origami, and collage.

Lucy McGrath is a professional paper marbler and artist. Her marbling is characterized by a fresh, contemporary colour palette and patterns that celebrate the expressive, chaotic qualities of the water on which marbling is based. She won the Arts Society/Cockpit Arts Award in 2016, and now works with brands such as Molton Brown and Matches Fashion, as well as offering her own range of luxury stationery and original marbled gifts as part of her business, Marmor Paperie. She runs monthly marbling workshops to teach the craft to others, as well as making regular appearances at events to demonstrate the craft and raise awareness. Lucy and her work have featured in magazines such as Country Life, Stylist and Red magazine.
