History
Linda R. Ziegler is an elementary school teacher and amateur paper marbler and calligrapher from Pennsylvania, USA. She developed an interest in paper marbling in the early 1980s, which lead her to attend seminars, symposiums, talks, and classes by notable artists such as Karli Frigge, Christopher Weimann, Richard Wolfe, Eileen Canning, Don Guyot, Nedim Sönmez, and Iris Nevins. She also met and corresponded with other marblers, book artists, printers, bookbinders, and booksellers and visited antiquarian book fairs and exhibits of marbled paper at libraries and museums throughout America. Between 1983 and 1996, Ziegler kept scrapbooks that documented these activities and her marbling and calligraphy research.
