Marbling is a beautiful free-flowing art form that is perfect for those who struggle to let go and switch off. This ancient craft with origins in Turkey and Japan involves floating coloured inks on the surface of a marble bath to form unique eye-catching patterns. The beauty of marbling is that you never truly know what kind of design you will get, so you are forced to stop overthinking, release control and let the creativity naturally flow.
