The art of marbled paper
Florence, Tuscany
In a Florentine boutique where traditional bookbinding has been practiced by the same family for generations, you’ll discover how handcrafted marbled paper is created and used to decorate elegant notebooks, journals, albums, and other artisanal objects.
After watching a demonstration, you’ll learn how pigments are floated on water and transformed into intricate patterns before being transferred onto paper. Guided by the artisan, you’ll then experiment with colors and techniques to create your own marbled sheet, discovering the balance between creativity and the unpredictable nature of the process.
