"Handmade Coptic Stitch Watercolor Sketchbook with waxed linen thread. All of our paper is handmade in our Kent, Ohio studio. We take great care in selecting the paper and making all designs on from scratch. Each design is carefully pulled with the expertise of our lead Marbler. Paper is acid free bound with PVA glue aside from the stitching. Our paints are PH neutral and use high quality ink.

Marbling consists of laying a sheet of paper onto a layer of ink suspended on a bath of Carrageenan (Irish seaweed moss). Once there is a desired design created with water based inks on the bed of Carrageenan, a print is pulled. This process is akin to Mono printing. Although we try to make each print as perfect as possible, the water has a balance we have to consider. There are slight imperfections in the marbled paper which is part of the process of marbling. Great for drawing, pen, ink, gouche, and paint. Ideal for gift, collage, sketches, or anything creative." -- JC Marbling & Book Arts

JC Marbling was established in 2016 as a marbling and book arts studio, located in Kent, Ohio. They are a small studio specializing in unique books, experimental books and hand-marbled paper. JC Marbling consists of one full-time artist/marbler, Jenniffer Omaitz (she/her) and her apprentices. All of their marbled paper is hand made and their books are hand bound. At JC Marbling, they embrace the tradition of marbling in practice as it has originated in England, France, Italy Spain, and Turkey, but take risks with color and application. By exploring non-traditional color combinations and utilizing double and triple dip methods of marbling, they strive to bring this ancient art into the 21st century. They are committed to experimental designs, teaching the art of marbling and bookmaking, while holding a high standard for craftsmanship.
