Items related to Art and Craft of Handmade Paper
If you can chop vegetables and boil water, you can make paper. It's easy with this fascinating step-by-step guide to making paper with vegetable fibers. No special tools are required and quality results can be had in a very short time.
The opening chapter of Vance Studley's clearly outlined, beautifully illustrated text introduces the reader to the origin and development of paper, describes its use in history, examines cultures that made paper and explains why quality paper is ideal for creative use.
The author then shows you in detail how to make attractive and useful paper in a vast number of sizes, shapes, textures, and colors. Details of the papermaking process range from scissoring the raw material and beating the pulp, to blending the contents and forming, pressing, drying, and separating the sheets.
Step-by-step instructions and over 160 sharply detailed illustrations introduce professional artists as well as students of all ages and levels of expertise to necessary materials, tools, and equipment. A final chapter suggests a variety of projects, including the compilation of a portfolio, creating papers for printmaking and drawing, and producing a collage from the designer's finished product.
An invaluable book for the craftsperson interested in learning a satisfying and fascinating hobby, this comprehensive manual will also appeal to artists in search of distinctive papers and teachers looking for a refreshing change in classroom projects.

Book Description Cloth, large 8vo, 28 cm, 112 pp. From the blurb: " Handmade paper is becoming an increasingly popular modern craft. The raw materials are readily available and cheap, and very little special equipment or expertise is required, making it an excellent craft for all ages. The book explains the basic techniques of papermaking, accompanied by step-by-step illustrations and diagrams of equipment and materials. Once the reader has learnt the basic techniques, the author gives ideas for several projects in which to use handmade paper: casting, layering, paper for printmaking and drawing, and paper collage. The book is ideal for écologists interested in recycling materials, for printers, calligraphers, and those who wish to make less conventional paper, and for the teacher looking for a change in classroom projects. The Art and Craft of Handmade Paper opens with a section on the history of papermaking, thus placing the craft in context with both the early Chinese papermakers ana today's huge paper industry." Very Good in a dustwrapper sunned around the spine. Seller Inventory # ABE-14649
