The tray used in this video is made of wood (we sell our top quality custom built marbling trays and tools on our website - see links below). Although we do use a variety of paint types and materials, in this particular video, the artist (our co-founder, Star) is using professional grade acrylic paint, which has been carefully prepared for marbling in our studio. We don’t sell our paints, but we do teach our full process through our amazing online business courses (one of which does include a full kit which with a tray and tools just like the ones you see used here, plus all the materials and paints needed for the 24-hour program which is conducted via live video conferencing.

    Hi Diana, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Although sometimes we do use acrylics on plain water (for the Japanese marbling technique known as Suminigashi), in this particular video Star is working on a colloidal gel that she prepared herself from organic materials. Some folks use synthetic products such as Methylcellulose. Historically, practitioners have used everything from seaweed or tragacanth gum to wallpaper paste or shaving foam! Suminigashi is fascinating and fun, and should work with regular acrylic paint applied to the water in tiny amounts on the end of a paintbrush or toothpick, but the effect is too watery to achieve the very detailed patterns created by the the rakes and tools. If you are interested in learning the art of water marbling, I suggest that you check out our virtual scarf-painting experience (or, if you are able, simply book an appointment to come to our studio in Huntington Beach, California and paint with us in person!

    Hi Pam! Thanks for your interest - your enthusiasm for this beautiful art sounds so familiar to me - I am filled with a sense of wonder every time I see a new design come to life on the water! A bit of warning - this art can be addictive (in a good way)!!! That said, the videos - and even the paint-your-own experience for which we are so well known - make it seem simple, but the art is surprisingly complex. Many would-be marblers find themselves lost for answers and frustrated when it doesn’t work for them. For this reason, we started the Mayu Silk Art Academy, offering online and in-person training particularly geared for folks who are interested in starting a marbling business or home studio of their own. It’s not a franchise opportunity; our students are free to build their own businesses their own way, utilizing the insider knowledge and best practices they learned from us to help launch their marbling adventures with a good foundation and understanding of the art and science of water marbling. In fact, the folks you met in Canada may very well have been some of our program participants - we have alumni in over 25 countries on six continents! I encourage you to check out our website at www.mayusilkart.com to learn more about us and the products and services we offer. And of course, there are lots more videos to come here on our KZread channel and social media pages. We are glad to have you on board! Cheers, - Star P.S. a silk scarf this size (hand painted by the customer or by me or another Mayu Silk Art team member) usually retails on our website or display rack for $25 to $30 USD.

    The process works on colored fabric, but the colors will definitely be affected. For example, if you are working on red silk, yellow paint might create an Orange effect, while blue paint might result in purple. Red, magenta, and pinks will yield deeper, richer shades because of the red behind them, while might look like a light pink.

    Hi Albert. The design is permanently affixed as soon as the silk (or other material) is dipped into the paint. Most items are then rinsed in tap water to remove any excess paint. For silk, we hang dry, then iron. The ironing sets the color so it won’t fade in the sun. Most items are hand washable after ironing.

    Hello. Thank you for your enthusiasm! In this video, Star is using top quality acrylic paint with a heavy pigment load that she has adjusted as needed to attain the desired effect. In terms of tools and trays, brands and types of paint or ink or dye as well as the materials on which they will be printing and the products that they might add to the paint or the water, artists have a wealth of options. In order to get consistently good results, it is recording to understand the science behind art. Mini novice water verbal or‘s invest a lot of time and money that goes to waste as they struggle to find that balance. I suggest starting with a small marbling kit and see if you like the art. If you do, seek out a qualified teacher whose work inspires you. Once you have learned their basic technique, you can experiment and expand your knowledge and develop your own unique style. Star and her team at Mayu Silk Art offer a variety of learning opportunities available online, remotely and in-person. Folks who just want to experience the art but not learn all of the behind-the-scenes details can go to www.Mayusilkart.com/visit. If you are interested in learning all of the processes and basic techniques, or in starting a business or home studio of your own, please go to www.mayusilkart.com/academy.

    Hi Fatima. Thank you for your enthusiasm! This is truly an art that never ceases to fascinate those lucky enough to watch it happen. Although we make it look simple, the art is surprisingly complex, with a lot of science and history behind it. Techniques range from simply floating ink on plain water, to using all sorts of processes, materials, and tools to change the water, the pigments, or the environment to achieve the desired effects. In this example, we used a pinch of processed seaweed to thicken the water, and adjusted the paint as needed to bring the viscosity of the paint and water as close to one another as possible. There is no simple recipe for success, and the internet is full of confusing and often conflicting advice about how to do it. A simple water marbling or suminigashi kit can be purchased from your local shop if you just want to dabble in the art. But if you are seriously interested in learning our technique, and perhaps even starting your own water marbling studio or home business, you may want to consider our in-person, remote, and online classes.

It's just a pity that we don't find out which carrier medium is stirred into the water or whether it's just pure water where the colors are dripped on. I'm also interested in what colors you use for marbling? Are the colors mixed with water? Or is there something else for the colors? I look forward to hearing from you. Greetings from Germany

    Hi Steve! h… what went into the water? A pinch of pixy dust… Okay, in this video, we added a bit of seaweed powder. But marblers use a variety of substrates and methods based on what is available in their region, and to achieve the desired effect. Sometimes, we do work on plain water (suminigashi). The process we use most often is a combination of traditional and modern techniques and materials. But the art in general is capricious and providing a “recipe” won’t teach you the “process,” and without a good foundation of understanding of the science and processes, it can be difficult or even impossible to achieve any measure of success, much less consistently good results. For those who are interested in learning our proprietary recipes and processes, we do offer a series of online, remote, and in-person classes. Please go to www.mayusilkart.com/academy to learn more.

    This art is certainly capricious, and it can be difficult tor achieve consistently good results if you don't have a good basic understanding of the science and techniques involved. Much of it is simply a matter of balance - not too much, not too little. Not too fast, not too slow. Not too high, not too low. It is so much more than just having the right recipe, though. If any one element is missing, or out of balance, there are ways to adjust, but again - understanding is key. Paint can sink due to any number of factors.

If you are searching for silk or marbling supplies, contact us at info@mayusilkart and we’ll try to help you source materials in your region. We do purchase in very large quantities so that we always have an ample supply, so we and our students don’t run out. But when silk can’t be found, there are some great alternatives such as cotton, polyester, and bamboo rayon.

    Great questions! The water (or “size” as it is called by marbling practitioners) can vary depending on what resources are available in a particular region, what type of paint is to be used, or what type of material is being dipped. Many powders are seaweed-based, others are made of tragacanth or other plants or even oil or synthetic products, but not all work equally well for every purpose. Most can be stored for repeated use for a day or two depending on weather, temperature, water hardness, etc.; some can be stored much longer. We teach our full method exclusively through the Mayu Silk Art Academy classes, which are offered online or in person, and are designed for people who are interested in starting a water marbling business or home studio of their own.

    Metallic and iridescent paints can be used, though the lines of types of paints is not as smooth as the non-sparkly colors. Also, the metallic paints can’t really “grab” into the fabric as the other colors do, so these colors have a tendency to flake off of the silk after a while.

    Hi Marissa, this is Star, the lady in the video. Please forgive me for the delay in responding, I get a lot of comments on our videos and it can be hard to keep up. I do agree - this art is super cool! The oldest form of marbling (suminigashi) involves floating sumi ink on plain water. Other forms of the art, including the Turkish Ebru, utilize goache or other pigment-based mediums. Some artists use oil paints or even nail polish or spray paint. In this particular instance, I was using high quality heavy body acrylic paint that I prepared especially for marbling. In my opinion, acrylic paint works best on fabric (I work primarily on silk, cotton, polyester and bamboo fabric) where other paints might be better for paper, but I do use acrylic on paper, wood, terra-cotta, and many other types of fabrics and materials. If you are interested in learning more about the process, or trying your hand at it, hit me up at +1(949)424-3458 or visit my website at www.mayusilkart.com (or see my profile for more info).

    Hi Debika. Although we make it look simple, the art of water marbling is surprisingly complex and elusive. Without a solid understanding of the science and techniques involved, it can be difficult to get consistently good results. Many variables can cause paints to sink, and it isn’t always the paint, or even the “size.” You can easily ruin your paints in the attempt to adjust them. We teach the paint mixing process and soooooo much more in our business classes, which are available online and in our studio. But to answer your specific questions, for general marbling on paper or fabric, the depth of the water should be no less than 1/2 inch deep, but about 1” or more is better. The consistency of the paints depends largely on the consistency of the “size,” as well as the techniques used in applying the colors, but typically they are about the consistency of milk.
