  1 0 Are you just looking for hand made marble or custom hand made marble (ie does it have to be a specific color or pattern) new York central art supply carries a wide variety and can do expedited shipping. Unfortunately their website kinda sucks but if you call they might be able to refer you to images on the web of the craftsmen who make why they carry. There used to be a hand made book place near the 619 bld on western. I don't know if theyre still around or if they made their own papers but they did have some I don't know their name unfortunately but you might be able to get it from someone else. Ate you looking for water or oil based marble paper ( the wb is more fluid, it's the eastern version, oil based us the very ordered venitian looking type more layered lines making up the patterns than the more random blobs that occur in the Asian types.) if you're looking for wb you might find someone in the international district I am assuming you've already checked out what's available at the stores and that's why you're looking for custom. But for random papers daniel smith and artist and craftsman. Ds will consistently carry the same type and will be pricey. ANC will have random papers (whatever the owner has found on closeout) and be cheaper but if you need more later they may not have more If you needed it later I would say to talk to the book making dept at cornish, when I was a student there they taught us how to do it as well as knew who made the stuff professionally. Unfortunately the teacher retired and I don't know the new ones personally. The semester starts after labor day though but that's past your deadline. If you need some in the future though I'd suggest talking with them. I work at Cornish now so if you want contact info for the future I can talk to them once fall semester is in swing. It's a different dept than I'm in (design) and I don't think the book dept is on the website as it's such a small section Of design. But I can do some research in person if this is a contact that could help you for future projects sublevelthree answered in Making Art/Crafting 9 months ago | Report 4 comments by MR, sublevelthree, and MR… 0 0 Thank you very much for the info. We'll contact New York central art first, then A'n C in UDistrict. We are not too familiar with the methods of marble paper making, so we can't know whether water or oil based meets our need. Giselle of Tabula Rasa on Western Ave. closed her shop about 10 years ago after her husband passed away. Anyway, what we are looking for is custom hand made marble without specific design. But it needs to be a pattern of traditional European. We thought we should decide the design after examining what's available. Unfortunately, what Daniel Smith has is mostly machine made ( IF they still carry marble paper, that is..), and hand made marble they used to have was made by a marble maker from out of state. We've worked with him previously, and have contacted him. But he's too busy teaching to have time to create the number of products we need at this moment. Could you please supply me with a contact info of a person who's in charge of the Marble paper department at Cornish? Or Do you know anyone who can make marble paper? (teachers, students, etc.) MR commented 9 months ago | Report 1 0 When school starts up ill get the info for you. Do you have a website with contact info? I don't know what the rules are about posting emails here, so if you can direct me to a link I can get the info there and continue the logistics off the board. I'll also talk to the print dept staff since they order alot of specialty papers but the book people probably know more. sublevelthree commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 Thank you so much! The company e-mail is : joel@arsobscurabookbinding.com. And please say "Response to a marble paper inquiry" or something like that on the email subject. Thanks again. MR commented 9 months ago | Report 0 0 UPDATE: The event when we needed the marble paper is over. We've managed to find enough hand marbled paper from our stock. (though they weren't ideal) We are ALWAYS looking for craftsman/woman who does marbling locally, so if you know anyone who is good, let us know.
