Family-owned and operated, we have proudly led the way in artist materials for fabric, delivering top-quality products for everyone, from professional artists to hobbyists and students. Jacquardâs Carrageenan Powder is a natural thickener derived from seaweed, specially formulated for creating mesmerizing marbling effects. This carrageenan for marbling transforms water into a gel-like bath that enables paints and dyes to float effortlessly on the surface, forming beautiful, intricate patterns. Perfect for water marbling, this powder creates a smooth, viscous layer thatâs essential for achieving consistent, professional results. Creating your marbling bath is simple. Mix 2 tablespoons of Jacquard Carrageenan Powder into warm water, and whisk or blend until the powder dissolves completely. Allow to rest at least one hour or until all bubbles have risen before use. When hand mixing, allow up to 12 hours for bubbles to dissipate. When youâre ready, pour the solution into a shallow trayâbig enough to fit whatever material youâre marbling. Drip or swirl your marbling paints onto the surface of the solution and use a marbling comb or skewer to create patterns, from delicate swirls to bold feathers. Gently place your material onto the surface to pick up the marbled pattern. After a few seconds, carefully lift it off, rinse to remove any remaining solution, and let it dry. For fabric, you can heat set it according to the paint or dye instructions to make sure your design lasts. With its easy preparation and compatibility with a wide variety of paints, Jacquard Carrageenan Powder offers endless possibilities for marbling on fabric, paper, wood, and more. This versatile, all-natural powder is available in multiple sizes, making it the ideal choice for artists of all levels who want to explore the stunning world of marbling!
