Brief history:
- the process of marbling (paint on water) is believed to have originated in Japan
- In the 1400-1500, during the Ottoman Empire, this practice found its way to Turkey where they incorporated the use of needles and hair and renamed the trade Ebru Marbling
- in 1600-1700 this practice founds its way to Europe
- until this point marbling was still not well known as people who knew kept it a secret and many people didn't know the water mixture
- in 1853 Charles Woolnough produced a book which uncovered many of the secrets which then lead to an increase in this practice.
- its popularity grew until machine production took over in around 1970
- many people still practice this method today
