PAPER AND BOOK BINDING

Paper and marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to marble or other stone, hence the name. This decorative material has been used to cover a variety of surfaces for several centuries. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationary. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique mono print.
This exceptional craft has been flourishing in Tuscany for many centuries.
