Lucy McGrath

Unique hand marbled paper goods & gifts

Biography

I love the element of randomness in marbling - you can mix the colours, but once you've dropped them onto the size, you have to relinquish control and simply guide the patterns as they appear.

Designer-maker Lucy McGrath uses methods that have barely changed for centuries. A form of print-making where each sheet is completely unique, paper marbling had its heyday in the nineteenth century where it was commonly used for book endpapers.

Lucy aims to breathe a new life into marbling, experimenting with modern colours and techniques to inspire a digital age.

A well-crafted notebook or journal is an integral part of the creative gent's inventory. With plenty of traditional or bright patterns to choose from, monograms or names can be foiled onto the front to add a personal touch.
