THE
ART OF EBRU
PAPER MARBLE
PAPER MARBLE
Paper marbling 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. Through several centuries, people
have applied marbled materials to a variety of surfaces. It is often employed
as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers
in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a
unique monotype.
There are several methods for
making marbled papers. A shallow tray is filled with water, and various kinds
of ink or paint colors are carefully applied to the surface with an ink brush.
Various additives or surfactant chemicals are used to help float the colors. A
drop of "negative" color made of plain water with the addition of
surfactant is used to drive the drop of color into a ring. The process is
repeated until the surface of the water is covered with concentric rings.
It is believed to be invented in
the thirteenth century Turkistan. This decorative art then spread to China,
India and Persia and Anatolia. Seljuk and Ottoman calligraphers and artists
used marbling to decorate books, imperial decrees, official correspondence and
documents. New forms and techniques were perfected in the process and Turkey
remained the center of marbling for many centuries. Up until the 1920's,
marblers had workshops in the Beyazit district of Istanbul, creating for both
the local and European market, where it is known as Turkish marble paper.
