Excellent introduction to the craft and its uses,
By A Customer
This review is from: Papercutting: Reviving a Jewish Folk Art (Paperback)
The summary of the history of papercutting is brief but thorough. The directions for starting out on your own are simple and encouraging. Finally, the designs for those who need inspiration are full of traditional images in a contemporary style and lend themselves to lots of personal touches. This book inspired me to tackle what appeared to be a very daunting art form

Great Book!,

This review is from: Papercutting: Reviving a Jewish Folk Art (Paperback)
I loved this book. I take papper cutting at my hebrew school in Brentwood CA, where Amy Goldenberg is my teacher. She is a fabulous teacher and I have been taking this class for three years and I love it. Amy comes up with fun and original designs that are displayed in this book. Paper cutting is a fun art subject and this book allows you to explore it!

Absolutely fantastic for ANYONE interested in papercutting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Papercutting: Reviving a Jewish Folk Art (Paperback)
Although I have almost every papercutting/scherenschnitte written in English, this is probably my all-time favorite -- and I'm not even Jewish. Jewish papercutting is breathtakingly beautiful (and truly in a class by itself; check the internet and/or museums for spectacular samples), so those tips/ techniques are obviously invaluable. However, the author also includes a great deal of incredibly helpful information that would enhance any style of papercutting -- and which, strangely enough, I have not seen covered in any of my other books.My one and only complaint is that it isn't a hardcover. This is one book I want to be able to keep forever!
