The Jacquard Marbling Kit is easy to use and great for making unique book covers, greeting cards, wrapping paper, patterned fabric and more! This updated marbling kit uses carrageenan instead of methocel, for creating finer lines and higher performance colors. The floating action of each color is optimized for all marbling techniques and synthetic gall is included for creating special effects and exercising greater control. This kit is designed for professionals, but easy enough for beginners. This package contains six Marbling Colors (.5oz/14ml each: yellow, red, violet, blue, white and black), .5fl oz/14ml Synthetic Gall, 4oz/113g Alum (mordant), 1oz/28g Carrageenan and complete instructions. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Conforms to ASTM D 4236. Made in USA.
From the Manufacturer
Use Jacquard's Marbling Kit to make beautiful patterned fabric or gift wrapping paper as unique as you are. Historically, the art of marbling paper has been associated with the craft of bookbinding. This technique involves creating a multi-colored pattern of paint that floats on the surface of a gel-like medium. Once you have mixed the paint and medium, you can lay your paper or fabric on the surface of the liquid to pick up the floating paint and transfer the design. This kit is designed to be used and enjoyed by professionals and beginners alike. The kit contains six 1/2-oz bottles of marbling colors (black, blue, green, red, yellow, and white). Also includes methocel marbling medium, alum sizing, and complete instructions. (Note: paper and fabric are not included in this kit.) For ages 12 and up. For over 30 years, Jacquard has been the leading manufacturer of artist quality textile, mixed media and craft products. Our products include textile paints, dyes, fabric art markers, screen inks and craft kits.

The set is great but three of the 6 colors were bad--grainy and useless, probably old or else stored improperly.

This kit has everything you need to start water marbling. I used it to marble plastic and glass Christmas ball ornaments. I did a few dozen and still have some paint as well as the other supplies left over. I wish it had included green paint in the selection. Very intense pigment in the paint even though it is thin enough to float on the size. Good price for all you get.

This brand is difficult to find but highly recommended by marbling experts. I look forward to using them, especially as they are premixed and ready to use.

This is a great little kit, with good directions and nice colors. The process is a bit involved, so be ready for that. You don't have to practice much to get beautiful results. I recommend using with Japanese paper.

I have only used it on paper, it works well. Need to practice a little with getting the right colors and how to put the paper on top and take it out. But a great project.

This kit has been assembled for those of us who would like to try our hand at marbling paper or cloth.It contains:* Six ½ oz. bottles of marbling colors (red, blue, yellow, black, green, white). Each bottle is topped with a dropper, so that you can squeeze the color directly onto the size (the gelatinous substance that the colors float on top of--if you're lucky). The white color that came with this kit was grainy. I suspect it had partially dried in the bottle. The black and green wanted to sink, but this tendency could have been due to the humidity or temperature. Size (the gel that supports the colors) is very temperamental* 5 oz. Alum Mordant--this is what you spray onto your paper to prepare it for marbling. Otherwise, the colors won't stick to the paper* 2 oz. Methocel--Blend this ingredient with warm water to make your size. I didn't use the methocel that came with this kit. I preferred making my size with Carrageenan, which had to be bought separately* Instructions on how to prepare your cloth or paper, and size. You are also instructed on how to make some of the most common marbling patterns such as `stone,' `get-gel,' or `rake Nonpareil.' Finally, you are taught how to pick up your pattern on your paper or fabric, rinse it, and then clean up afterwards (the hardest part!)There are items that this Jacquard Marbling Kit does not include, which you will have to purchase or make separately:* Paper. I have successfully marbled 140 lb. hot-pressed watercolor paper, and 110 lb. white card stock (for laser printer), after treating it with the alum mordant* A pan in which to float your size (I used a small plastic kitty litter pan)* A board to support your marbled paper while rinsing off the excess color* Various jugs to mix up your alum mordant and size (I used plastic milk bottles)* Paper drying rack (I used wire shelving, but non-rusting screens would work. You can even hang your paper to dry over a clothesline)* A board (I used an old wooden ruler) to skim the crud off of your size. You can reuse your size if you skim it between marbling patterns* Whisks, combs, and rakes to draw your patterns in the colors floating on the size. These can be purchased separately or constructed out of T-pins and strips of wood* Lots and lots of old newspaper to protect your working surface, clean up splatters, and skim off your size (wrap strips of it around your skimming board)Marbling is complicated, but fun, and you can make some seriously beautiful patterns on your cloth or paper. I use my marbled paper to fashion greeting cards.I strongly suggest that you supplement the instructions that come with this Jacquard Marbling kit. I can recommend Diane and Paul Maurer's books: and . A couple of other, less detailed texts are: Gabriele Grünebaum's ; and a 19-page guide by Christine Cox, "Paper Marbling Patterns and How-To" from [...] (where I also bought most of my marbling supplies).
