How to make

Step-1
Cover your table with some old newspaper or table cloth to catch any drips. Then fill up your bowl or tray three quarters of the way up with some cold water.

Step-2
Drop the ink into the centre of the bowl one drop at a time. Using a cocktail stick swirl the ink with the water pulling the ink away from the centre of the bowl to the edges. Work quickly for the best results. Try adding up to three colours at a time for more variation by dropping the ink into the centre of the bowl each time and swirling the colours together gently with the cocktail stick.

Step-3
If necessary prepare the ceramic blanks with a coat of white paint and leave overnight to dry. Carefully dip the object into the water bath and submerge until the ink is lifted onto the object. This is a very quick process have some paper close by to start off with some test prints to get the hang of the technique

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Such a poor guide It states different paint and marbling ink in the list of what you need, also says in instructions to pour water into a container and drop ink onto it, it does not mention that if you are using the Pebeo marbling ink, you will need to prepare your water with Pebeo marbling bath (not included in what you need list) Prepare the bath by rapidly mixing three teaspoons in a litre of cold water. Leave to rest for two hours.
