MARBLING HISTORY
Marbling originally started during the Sung dynasty in ancient China with suminagashi or 'floating ink' techniques being developed Japan during the twelfth century where paper was used to collect the result. These early marbling art pieces were highly prized and reserved for nobles and royalty.
Modern day marbling techniques can be traced back to 13th century Turkistan and 14th century Persia, so it is likely the techinque travelled the silk road along with the marbled wares.
This method which was refined in Europe uses a special "floater" product to make paint sit on the surface or water, allowing for many more applications than just paper.
