This is a lovely book both for the professional artist or the beginner. I am an artist but have never tried paper mache and this book gives easy to follow instructions and beautiful images of the finished works.
I can't wait to have a go and I think that's a pretty good recommendation of a book that gives you the inspiration to create immediately!
Obviously you can interpret the works with your own artistic flair and who knows where that can take you!

I am just starting on papier mache n didnt realise there were so many different ways of approaching it, this book will give you lots of ideas for beginners, i think u could take this craft into bigger n greater projects but certainly gets the artistic juices going, the book is great for me tk u

My son was applying to high school and we needed a 3D piece for his portfolio. He settled on papier mache and off he went. The projects were all doable and the images were very crisp and inspiring. He didn't copy what he saw in the book, but it gave him the skills to create a piece that won everyone over. I've never seen him work so hard on anything before and since this was such a slow process, it was a teachable moment; plan, plan and plan. I hope when he gets to high school, he'll have the opportunity to do more papier mache work. It allowed him to let his creativity show.

Great how to book and I highly recommend it.

It is so sad to see how cheep and distastfull the products are.
This book is a disgrace to every thing good about the wonderful material- papier mache and what has been done with it in the recent years . Papier mache is the medium, it can be made into art and it can be amateur like. What a pity!
Using plastic instead of cardboard also totally misess the point of resycling which papiermache is proud to be part of today.
Look at other books!
