Culture Days in Vancouver - Marbling Demonstration at the Roedde House Museum

Marbling demonstration by marbler, book restorer and paper-maker Phyllis Greenwood at the kitchen of the Victorian Roedde House Museum.

Paper Marbling (from wikipedia) is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.
