Paste papers are one of the oldest decorative techniques used by bookbinders. They are commonly used as end sheets and decorative book covers. Likely you already have beginning experience making paste paper from when you did finger painting as a child. In this class we’ll explore some more sophisticate techniques to make beautiful patterns with a 3-dimensional look.
