80 pages, 200 color photographs, a clear weekend course in paper marbling: the suminagashi technique, the Western Ebru tradition, the supplies you need, the projects you can finish in two days. Paperback, Abrams, 2024.

The book lives on the studio table or in the craft drawer. It is the kind of book the reader actually opens, then makes something with.

A gift for the friend who took up watercolor in her thirties. A bridal shower for the bride who is rediscovering hands-on crafts. A teacher gift for the elementary school art teacher.

Natascha Maksimovic is a designer, artist, and wallpaper maker based in Margate, UK. She practices and teaches paper marbling.
