A must for all papermakers!
This book is a real gold mine of information. It shows how to make paper from plants then how to transform it, mold it, decorate it, make vessels with it. The instructions by experienced papermakers are very clear, to the point, easy to follow. There are ample black and white photos to illustrate instructions plus a portfolio section in the middle with color photos. Each section starts with an artist's statement then proceeds to describe the process.
A truly inspiring book!

Introducing techniques of 17 artists
17 artists shows their tools, methods and works. The author tells, "The book has been designed to work for you as a workshop and as an inspiration. The goal was to show different approaches taken by many artists, not to give one definitive view." All the instructions are proofed by the author.

The presentation styles are different from artist to artist. Some artists show the detailed process with photos.There are a lot of tips and ideas in this book. I'm interested in the method to apply handmade paper to basket and molding. Even paper making beginner like me can apply some methods. I'll try to put my handmade paper to a basket.

Unfortunately most of photos are black and white though includes some color photo section.

If you are not satisfied just to make paper, this book is for you. ... Read more
