Very early history of traditional marbling. The main focous is on traditional Turkish marbling. Gives a wonderful rich background on the master marbler/apprentice relationship, traditional tool and products used. Amazing photos of traditional marbling work by Turkish Masters.

This review is from: Turkish Art of Marbling (Paperback)

É um livro muito bonito, bem diagramado e impresso, mas infelizmente não contém muitas informações acerca do método da marmorização. É um livro para pessoas que já têm experiência nessa técnica do Ebru. Ele serve como guia de cores e de desenho. Para mim faltou mais detalhes de como preparar as tintas e a água e de como realizar o processo da estamparia.
