- Living St. Louis Producer Jim Kirchherr discovers the rare art of paper marbling-an old-fashioned way of making decorative sheets for the inside covers of books. Curtis Finley of Pacific, Missouri, is still one of the few people that marbles in his basement, using many different techniques and styles including the popular peacock and zebra designs. The St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri, St. Louis even held an exhibit exclusively for this art.

Marbling was used all over the world, using techniques invented and reinvented by many cultures. It is not just Turkish or Japanese or Italian. I'm just glad that there are people still using the old ways combined with the new ways to keep the art alive, updated and interesting for each generation.
Bravo, Curtis E. Findley! Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful arcane historic trade!
This video was shot in what the 80's, the art of marbling was not as commonly practiced as it is now. thank goodness it made a comeback. I love it.
The research I have done, the Turkish marbling is done with the watch thickened, the Japanese style is not, its plain water and the ink is applied. I have not looked up the Italian version. I am sure there are many differences. It's breathtaking, I wished they had workshops here in Cleveland Ohio, I would love to learn the craft ... pout pout not offered here
This is beautiful I love the history it takes alot to keep of respect of the old ways to keep alive such things as historical book binding ,because of this we have historical book libraries.
64 years old and finally! I often wondered as a child the how and the why's of this in some of my Dad's books. His book's were donated to UMSL after his death in 1985. Thank you for this ~
✌🌷
I love this video! Thanks for sharing the information!
Very interesting. Thanks for the posting.
La tecnica de Papel Marmolizado, espero que mis estudiantes vean esto.
...Y todo el que ame el arte.
This guys amazing
Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting...I am sure great skill, and much delight, is happening in that basement! :)
the "bad old days" he said at the end lol
Super like!
Can someone please tell me how do you do this what is the paint called what type of paper and what kind of water??????
AAhhhhh , father of Heidi ? Great marblers.
Interesting, they mention countries like France and Spain or even Dutch (Holland) but the origin is traceable to Middle Asia and it came to flourish in the Ottoman Empire when in Europe Turkish art was very modern and expensive. People should tell stories te as fully and not only the parts they think is relevant!

WAY cool!
@countrydoctor Maybe it's not really water. It could be mineral oil, could be even grain alcohol. I don't know.
If you live in or near a city where there is a papermaking supply store, you might be able to find information there about paper marbeling.
Look up on RUclips...
Is a beautiful work ,please ,what kind of ink do you used?
Curtis uses inorgnic inert pigments, such as ochres and sythetic iron oxides. The exception would be Prussian Blue, which is a lake pigment.
Come to Turkey and see meet alot of artist of paper marbling but the original name is Ebru art.
I have watched him on youtube, his work is breathtaking, I just wish I could understand his language so I could learn from him. What beautiful art he creates
dayı süpersin. congrats from Turkiye.
WHAT IS IN THE TRAY THAT HE IS DROPPING THE INK INTO? WHAT KIND OF INK IS HE USING???
I believe it is an aluminum tray that Curtis made himself.
I find this really interesting..... I think everyone in the UK knows what: "to and fro" means, but, as is apparent in this video, Americans don't. How strange! Great Video anyway =D
@juegodeljuglar Si, en este epoca tan electronica me alegre mucho para ver un arte significa como papel marmolizado. Espero que jovenes quien van a continuar ese gran tradicion de imprimir papel.
Trabajo yo en cinematografia(35mm) y me perocupe mcho que la genet quien solo usen video digital no les conocesen cine reale.
can someone please help me... i cant seem to get the marbling right. the ink just sinks to the bottom of the water. ive tried putting a little washing up liquid in the water but that doesnt work. ive tried acrylic, ink and watercolour, but they didnt work. do i need to buy special marbling ink? help!
countrydoctor This is probably far too late, but you to get hold of carageen powder to thicken the water so that the inks will sit on the water. Even thin wallpaper paste will work, although not as well. I do hope that you got some info earlier thn this!
Contact Galen Berry at Marble Art in Oklahoma City. While not being the historic variety of paper marbling, Galen can set you straight on what to purchase for acryic paint paper marbling.
11 years late to help you, but maybe someone else cruising through with the same questions may see this.
The water needs to be thickened. Normally a seaweed gelatin concoction is made using carageen powder. but there are alternatives. methylcellulose, not the digestive powder type you mix in your morning coffee... but the pure stuff, can work, as can cornstarch in a pinch. you dont want to turn the water to jello, just runny syrup consistency.
For the paint, really any acrylic will work. it needs to be thinned. and a couple drops of Ox Gall added for surfactant. you can even use kids tempera paints or finger paints if the water bath is prepared correctly, but finer consistency pigments give the best result.
Alternatively, you can try suminagashi, or japanese marbling. no need to thicken the water. but you will need real sumi ink, preferably an actual ink stick and a grinding stone so you can be sure its just straight pigment and not some commercially produced ink with additives in it. beyond that, a couple japanese/chinese caligraphy brushes that can be had for cheap at any art supply, and some paper to take prints with, and your good to go. ox gall or some very very dilute soap water will be needed for the "white" space, as you make the pattern by alternating the ink brush with the surfactant brush to push the ink and build the pattern.
Optionally some Alum powder can be used to make a solution called a Mordant, which you treat the paper with prior to lifting the print off the water. a Mordant acts as a binder between the paper and the paint so that more paint sticks, thus giving you a brighter pattern on the finished paper. But you can pull prints without it.
good luck and happy marbling!
Great video Nine Network! Thanks for taking the time to make and upload it.
FYI, I have now embedded your video into a recent paper marbling tutorial post I did on our bookbinding site (www.ibookbinding.com/blog/marbled-paper-bookbinding-tutorial-and-photo-gallery/). I hope you don't mind? If so, let me know and I can remove it...
Thanks again,
Paul
@cypriot1965 Sorry but you do not know the history of EBRU well.
I'm laughing...
this is not a dying (pun intended) Art anymore.
... I do this.... thousands of RUclipsrs do this...
it is (unfortunately) easy to duplicate this...
They even have "Kits" for this now...
Just look on RUclips...
same with bookbinding. its experiencing a resurgence in interest. probably due to the breakneck pace of technology making people nostalgic for the "bad ol days" when things were simpler and really the only bad part was the racism, the rest was ok.
The arts will never die. They just shift from mass market trade commodities to specialized art. maybe fine art, if you follow Ebru developments. there are some mind bending Ebru artists in Turkey that can paint on water like the old masters on canvas.
@@fakiirification
WOW.... Reading this gave me chill bumps... You are so right. Thank you for your reply.
wtf potato camara
,
I like the art dont get me wrong but kids are doing this with fingernail polish and dipping thier fingers in it to give a unique look on thier nails. If kids are doing this they can do it with paper. Its not rocket science.
Right...
that's what I said...
Kids can also finger paint, but that doesn't mean there's no skill involved in recreating a Van Gogh. Sure anybody can marble paper, but producing true pieces of art like this man and other do takes a great deal of experience and skill to get a beautiful product consistently. There's a nuance to it. Saying kids can do it, therefore it's not rocket science, is like saying there are kids who can play the cello, therefore Yo Yo Ma is a schmuck.
@@erik_carter_art people like to disrespect Artists ,yet from the clothes they wear to the tech they use always need an artist in the process.
I dont get the point
Haleigh whats the point of anything then?!
