Delight yourself making handmade paper

One of the most interesting books I have ever seen.This is a very important book for all the people who makes handmade paper.In this book we can find since how to make a papyrus sheet, one of the most antique techniques of making paper, till paper sculpture, a very actual and sophisticated work.The explanation about the way to do is simple and detailed, and the photos are very clear, so we can compare the final results when we try to experiment what author proposes.

Wow. Dense and stuffed with ideas and inspiration. Epiphanic

Wow. Seminal. Packed with inspiration, how-tos, details, instructions and great images. A must for every papermaking and papier maché library - pulp painting, pulp spraying, sculptural techniques with paper (and not of the scissors-exacto knife type). I heard that it's out of print. I am so grateful to at last have a copy after borrowing it over and over from my library. Not to be missed.
