Design and Pattern in
Decorated Papers:
Wet and Dry Techniques
This compilation of distinctive
handmade papers features some of the finest decorated papers
being produced today, showcasing innovative new techniques
in the medium of paper. Twenty-one juried papers--some by
individual artists, some collaborative efforts--demonstrate
techniques applied to the paper surface or inherent in the
paper pulp. Based on historic traditions with a contemporary
dynamic, the methods employed include marbling, paste paper,
pulp painting, embossing, embedding, dyeing, pigmenting, and
others difficult to categorize.
A custom-made clamshell box houses
the papers, each in a protective folder imprinted with the
artist’s name. A handbound booklet contains statements from
each artist and a commissioned essay by Sandra Kroupa, Book
Arts Librarian in the Special Collections & Preservation
Division of University of Washington Libraries.
