You can revive the ancient craft of papermaking - with an inspirational modern approach. A comprehensive techniques section with step-by-step instructions includes the basic process of making pulp and sheets, as well as couching and pressing. It features a beautiful gallery of handmade pieces by leading papermakers. It includes information on all the materials and tools you will need. Paper is a practical and throwaway material. For this reason, most people are unfamiliar with the process of papermaking and the pleasure of handling an individual sheet with an uneven, deckled edge or a surface encrusted with texture. The creative potential of papermaking is enormous - with basic materials, you can create some amazing projects, including paper sheets made with straw, and three-dimensional forms which are made by embedding grasses within the wet sheets. The volume contains more than stationery, with ideas such as Paper Bowls, a Japanese-bound Book, and a Wall-hung Memory Quilt. Whether an understated sheet in muted tones with an embossed motif or a rich collage construction of individual elements, every handmade project will become an object to treasure.
Elizabeth Couzins-Scott has been working with paper for many years. A teacher and a member of the 62 Group of Textile Artists, her work has been featured in House and Gardens as well as in Crafts and World of Embroidery.
