MARBLED PAPER - THIS TALK WILL EXPLORE THE EASTERN ORIGINS OF THE ART AND ITS RECEPTION IN PLACES LIKE ENGLAND.

Marbled paper, with its mesmerising swirls and intermingling colours, was first introduced to western Europe around 400 years ago and was met with great admiration and curiosity. This talk will explore the eastern origins of the art and its reception in places like England. Using examples from Guildhall Library's own collection, we will look at some of the classic marbling styles and consider the use of paper marbling in bookbinding and beyond. Join Mary Penman to learn more.

In-person: For access to the event, please use the Aldermanbury entrance to Guildhall Library/The London Centre.
