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.
two upcoming events! i will be teaching Miniature Marbling again at MCBA in January – keep your eyes peeled for the sign-up. i will also be selling paper and combs on behalf of Midwest Marbling at the GBW Standards of Excellence in Iowa from Oct 9th-11th. hope to see you there!
