I want to welcome you to the magic: marbling magic.

More than 10 years ago, I stumbled upon the art form and fell in love...not just with the end result (which is gorgeous and a world onto its own) but also with the PROCESS of CREATING a marbled piece. It feels so magical: working in the tank, on a water bath, with colors that remain true to their character (no muddy messes!), accepting with grace the organic patterns and designs that naturally reveal themselves, standing in awe as the image is transferred onto paper or fabric or leaves or wood.

This is marbling: fluid beauty reflecting a unique moment in time.

Marbling is the centuries-old art form where paint is floated on water, special tools are used to create designs and patterns, and then the image is captured by placing paper (or fabric or wood or other materials!) on top of the water where it is immediately and permanently affixed. You’re probably most familiar with the marbled papers in the end pages of old books. Or maybe you’ve seen marbled patterns on boxes of Kleenex brand tissues. Or perhaps you’ve strolled the streets of Venice or Istanbul and seen shops filled with large sheets of marbled papers ready for your personal use. Or maybe marbling is new to you all together. If so, you’re in for an amazing ride! If you’re looking to try something new, play with color and concept, and work hand-in-hand with the elements of surprise, wonder, and awe…then Clouds on Water is for you! Clouds on Water offers three marbling classrooms: ** Introduction to Paper Marbling: Learn the fundamentals of marbling ~ from making the bath and your own tools to troubleshooting tips and creating traditional patterns, this course will walk you through every step of the marbling process and take you on the journey to producing beautiful creations on paper. ** Advanced Marbling Techniques: For those with marbling experience, start diving in deeper and go beyond the basics, breaking rules along the way and taking your marbling adventure to the next level. ** Marbling on Fabric: Fabric is a stunning medium upon which your marbled creations shine. This course teaches you the special techniques unique to marbling on fabric. For more information, visit www.CloudsOnWater.com.

Ever since falling for the art form, I've made it my mission to "bring marbling to the masses." And while I would love to have everyone in the world come spend time with me in my studio, I did the next best thing: I created an online marbling classroom so I could come to you!
