Carrageenan to create the viscous size bath, alum to prepare your surfaces for accepting pigment, and synthetic gall to control paint spread and pattern formation. Six concentrated marbling colors provide core primaries plus black and white for mixing custom palettes.
The chemistry matters because marbling isn't painting, you're manipulating pigment suspension on a liquid surface before transferring patterns to treated fabric or paper. Each component serves a specific function: carrageenan thickens water to support floating colors without mixing them, alum acts as a mordant so transferred patterns actually bond rather than wash away, and synthetic gall adjusts surface tension to control how colors spread and interact. Complete instructions walk through the process from preparing your size bath to pulling successful prints.
This kit handles multiple sessions across fabric and paper projects. Mix the carrageenan, treat your surfaces with alum solution, float and manipulate colors, then transfer. Traditional marbling technique, professional materials, straightforward execution.
