About Hampton:
Hampton Deck “discovered” marbled paper in Florence, Italy, in the summer of 1986. He was so smitten by its beauty, he vowed to himself that one day he would learn to make it.
Twenty-nine years later he fulfilled that vow by learning from world-renowned marbler, Pamela Smith in Abiquiu, New Mexico. He has been marbling ever since in the marbling studio he built in his garage.
He loves to introduce this amazing and addictive art process to others. He covers datebooks, journals, blank books and the like with his marbled paper.
Hampton grew up in the Southern United States, studied engineering in college, moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1988 and has just retired from being a Presbyterian minister for the past 35+ years. He is married and has 4 grown children. He loves to tell stories, practice spirituality, backpack in Yosemite in the summer, ride his bike and marble paper!
