This weekend was our Rural Routes Studio Tour, during which I was demonstrating paper marbling. I spent quite a bit of time describing what I was doing, warning people to keep out of the spatter zone, and (when there were no visitors) sitting down to take a break. Despite this we (Lily and I) made 31 full-sized (18×24″ grain short) marbled sheets and 10 half-sheets (12×18″), along with two pieces of marbled fabric.

The rest of these are all on commercially-made 18×24″ paper.
These (and many more from previous marbling sessions) are all available for sale at our normal prices for marbled paper: $6.00 for the 18×24″ commercial paper, $7.00 for the 12×18″ handmade paper. We have some photos of other sizes in a previous blog post.
If you are interested in an introduction to paper marbling, there is still room in our marbling workshop next weekend (November 9th 2013).
