| 总结: | Every day we handle paper - but only now are we beginning to rediscover its amazing variety and versatility and its creative possibilities. Produced in association with Il Papiro, the Florentine marbling firm, Paper Pleasures celebrates the beauty of paper and shows how people of any age, without any artistic training, can learn to create a vast range of decorative or useful artefacts. More than 100 pages of stunning colour photographs illustrate handmade papers and objects - including boxes, trays, books, folders, screens and bowls - all specially created for the book by Faith Shannon and her team of craftworkers. Detailed instructions for basic techniques and individual projects to make at home are clarified by more than 200 easy-tofollow colour diagrams. Paper Pleasures begins with an historical survey of paper, and an account of how to make paper at home using readily available equipment and materials. Then follows a stimulating portfolio of techniques for manipulating paper to make simple sculptural forms. 'Decorating Paper' covers patternmaking methods, from spraying to block printing. 'Marbling' explains not only the classic methods but also a foolproof technique for beginners. 'Paper in Three Dimensions' offers dozens of stimulating ideas for projects, ranging from jewelry to lampshades; as in the rest of the book, these ideas are treated as starting points for your own experiments. The last major section takes the mystique out of bookbinding. More than just a craft book, Paper Pleasures opens our eyes to a whole medium for creative self-expression.
