Papermaking Techniques Book provides the clear, step-by-step instruction necessary to help crafters of any experience level create unique and elegant handmade paper.

Finished handmade papers from professional papermakers are pictured to provide inspiration and show the practical application of each technique, while full projects appropriate to each chapter allow readers to put the skills they have learned into context.
