Program Description

Program Description

"Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other kinds of stone.[1] The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric. "  Wikipedia

Science and Art meet for this S.T.E.A.M. Lab session as we experiment with different paper marbling techniques 
including
 Paper with Shaving Cream, and food color or paint
 Paper with Liquid Starch, and food color or paint

Once the paper dries, you can use your designs to create Valentine's Day cards!
