Developed back in 1981 in the Atelier Hugo Peller in collaboration with the Centro del bel libro in Ascona, the colours of AscoColor® still represent the reference for high-quality marbling colours. With a bit of practice, impressive works of art can be created on the basis of the oil paints in combination with the Gelasco marbling base. End products are smudge-, wash- and light-fast. The production location in Germany ensures a consistently high quality of all components. In addition to the traditional oil-based marbling paints, we have expanded our portfolio of marbling paints under the AscoColor eco brand in 2021, focusing on environmental compatibility.

How to gild edges in just 5 steps - A step-by-step guide to edge gilding. Book-edge finishing was historically used for very high-value books - in the past, every valuable and special book had an edge covered in gold, chalk, graphite or dye. The gilded edge was the highest quality method and was done with real gold leaf (see also our tutorial with gold leaf). Nowadays, edge gilding is used very little and has a very special effect as a result.

For gilding, edge gilding and decoration of books and leather products you need the right tools and materials. In the following video, we show a selection of our products you can use for this purpose.

Marble is a limestone that has a special colour structure. When marbling paper, you want to achieve such colour structures or marble effects and capture them on paper. For DIY enthusiasts, this is also possible at home and not many tools are required. The special thing about marbling paper is that the marble effect looks different every time, each piece of paper being unique. The good thing is, anyone with a little patience and enjoyment can actually learn how to marble paper.
