Paste paper is a three dimensional decorative paper used in book making. Marks are made in the colored paste with fingers, tools and rubber stamps. There is a depth that develops in the paste as it dries. The papers can be used for covers and end papers. In the second part of the workshop we will make a star book using paste paper pages. Bring bookbinding tools – ruler, pencil, bone folder, sewing needle – if you have them, otherwise there will be tools to borrow. There will be a 20 minute break for lunch at noon, bring a bag lunch.
