Our friend and colleague, Pat McCarty, the premier book restorer, binder, and repairer in the Valley, did a class on making marbled paper for her apprentices yesterday. Thence the title of this article, all blasts from my past as a marble-shooting child in Boston. I was treated to seeing the variety of patterns Pat's students created, and regaled with the tales of the effort involved. Too much work for me, but a grand experience for them.
