Artistic Marbling is all about the experience! Guests will have the opportunity to create their very own hand painted item using the ancient art form of Suminagashi. Onlookers are amazed at the patterns designed in the water and the complexity and detail when the unique design transfers to your item of choice.
Marbling originated in ancient Japan around the 12th century and quickly spread through Turkey, Persia and India. Some believe it was discovered by accident by someone in the Japanese imperial family who submerged sumi ink paintings in water, watched the inks float to the surface, then put a piece of paper on the floating ink, lifted it up and preserved the image. This technique was termed suminagashi, or “ink floating.”
