Papiere schöpfen und gestalten

Handmade papers captivate with their color and texture. Inclusions and embossing create a unique appearance and an interesting surface structure.

Eva Hauck and Dorina Tessmann provide all the essential information about the papermaking process and the further processing of papers made from recycled paper and plants. In addition to the basics of papermaking, readers will also learn techniques such as dyeing papers with natural dyes, incorporating foreign materials, and embossing.

In the projects, they demonstrate how handmade papers can be transformed into greeting cards, packaging, folded jewelry, books, folders, and collages. Accessories made from paper pulp and papier-mâché are also presented.
