5.0 out of 5 stars Pergamano Parchment Craft Techniques, July 18, 2000

By A Customer

This beautifully illustrated book offers clear, percise directions and guidelines for an old art form that is enjoying a popular revival. As a crafter, new to this art, I was able to learn which tools and supplies to use and a resource list for these items. Written instructions and techniques are clear and easy to follow. Patterns and practice excercises are very helpful. A great book for the beginner!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, June 21, 2001

By	BG (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

The layout of the book is very nice, going from easier to more difficult projects. If followed in order, one can learn all the basic techniques for parchment crafting. It would have been nice if alternative ways of doing things would have been suggested (such as using fancy shears instead of perforating and cutting). However, I recommend it.
