| Paper marbling is a mono-printing technique where colours are deposited onto a gelatinous size. By using a stylus, rakes and combs the pattern is made on the surface of the size. Paper treated with alum is then carefully laid onto the surface of the size. A few seconds later, the paper is removed from the size and the pattern is transferred onto the paper. The surface of the size is then skimmed with a strip of paper to remove the remaining colours. The process is repeated for the next pattern. Each pattern made is therefore unique.
