Create Your Own Scarf

Create your own scarf with marbeling

Through the "Silk Road" the art of marbling made its entrance into 15th century Turkey. Marbling is the art of creating floating pictures on top of a special water bath. After selecting and applying paint from 22 different color choices ,swirling patterns of color are created using special tools know as rakes and combs .On the surface of these intricate swirling pasterns ,we apply the elegant method of figuring; thus producing fascinating floral effects ,that have for centuries ,captured our hearts and minds of this Ottoman / Islamic art technique. Each participant can print as many of their own 15 x 45 or 15 x72 China silk scarf's.
