This handbook is aimed at printmakers and artists keen to explore the combined potential of printmaking and papermaking. It provides an introduction to the art of papermaking, guiding the reader through setting up a workspace and creating a simple Western-style mould and deckle. The book examines various papermaking techniques, including pulp painting, watermarks, and using native Scottish plants.
The reader learns how to print on handmade papers and how to incorporate paper into three-dimensional artworks. It considers diverse papers from around the world, with a section devoted to the delicate skills of Japanese papermaking, exploring how found objects and dyes can influence colour and translucency. The book aims to alert artists to the possibilities when these disciplines converge.
