Paper Marbling - Discover what you get

Looking to extend your arts and crafts offerings?

This program package has everything you need to develop a quality paper marbling program, and will open doors to other opportunities for creativity with the finished pieces!

You could create your own paper marbling activity, we’re certainly not claiming to be offering you something that you couldn’t get from somewhere else. What we are offering you is our valuable insight and experience in order to assist in helping you eliminate common mistakes and provide you with an activity that has a working balance of safety, fun and learning.

What you could do:

  • Hire someone to create a paper marbling activity from scratch. This would take approximately 20hrs+ of work at roughly $10 per hour, and most of the information you will find is incomplete in providing any structure for teaching this activity to children. You will need to:
    • Research many paper marbling resources: online, in books, publications, videos.
    • Search for equipment online, in local stores, trade magazines, camp conferences, neighbor camps, etc.
    • Create your own lesson plans.
    • Trial and error the equipment and activity to find out safety points and logistical considerations.

  • A website for you to check out:
  • A book on the subject:
    • “How To Marbleize Paper: Step By Step Instructions for 12 Traditional Patterns” by Gabriel Grunebaum - $4.95 on Amazon.

  • A DVD to watch:
    • “Mastering Marbling With Peggy Skycraft” - $29.95 on Amazon.

What we offer:

  • A comprehensive lesson plan to maximize safety, fun and learning!
  • Videos of both the set-up process and the activity being run.
  • Creative ideas for what to do with your marbled paper.
  • Equipment lists and where to purchase from (NB: we do not receive royalties from the suppliers that we list).
  • Safety considerations for the chemicals you will require.
  • Photos.
  • Our trial-and-error knowledge points.
  • A half-hour telephone conversation with a member of our staff, well-versed in paper marbling, to help you adapt it to your needs and answer any questions.
  • Email contact for any questions that arise during your implementation.
  • Special offers relating to your purchase, in addition to program updates.

Benefits:

We believe that the value you will receive from our paper marbling package is higher than the investment you would make in researching it for yourself. There is no doubting that many summer camps do research and implement their own activities effectively. Our hope is that we can pass our tested knowledge on to you in finding our path to success, giving you the tools you need (without the time-consuming research) to create your own paper marbling activity.

  • You invest considerably less personal and staff time and in researching paper marbling, the research has been done for you!
  • You receive the benefit of our errors made, and knowledge developed from us running the program.
  • A lesson plan that focuses on the learning and development of the campers.
  • Many creative variations for the activity.
  • Reliable contact with a human being, who can answer your questions and help you adapt the program to fit your organizations needs.
  • We hope to spur innovation in your organization by planting a seed.  If you create a program we don’t have, we‘d love to talk about buying it from you for our camp!
