hello! my name is parry – i'm a marbler and bookbinder based in minnesota. this site is where i've collected projects and experiments of interest. some are complete, some are in a nascent stage, and most are in between. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out at [email protected]. you can find me elsewhere on the web at parryc.com.

unsure of where to look first? take a peep at some marbling examples, learn about one of my cross-discipline projects, or read up on kyoseishi.
