A life-long paper addict, Joyce Gitter discovered mesmerizing marbled paper on a trip to Italy. That led to her first marbling class and another addiction. A retired pediatrician, kids have shown her that the best way to learn is to play, and she sees marbling as magical child’s play. Joyce practices marbling magic in her home in Mequon, WI where she uses her papers and fabrics for cards, cartonnage, journals and collage. She has taught classes in paper crafting, cartonnage and journal making.
