Paper Making Art

A richly illustrated exploration of the history and process of hand papermaking at non-profit studio Dieu Donné.

A richly illustrated exploration of the history and process of hand papermaking at non-profit studio Dieu Donné.

Dieu Donné, a New York City non-profit, pioneered the grassroots hand papermaking movement, part of the arts and crafts revival in the 1970s. For the past five decades, Dieu Donné has led the revolution in hand papermaking by reinventing it as an art medium through collaborations with important contemporary artists. Written by Susan Gosin, cofounder of Dieu Donné, this is the first book to detail hand papermaking as an art form.

More than 450 vibrant images include:

• Photos of the studio and artists at work.
• Depictions of collaborations and techniques. 
• Beautiful reproductions of such work as watermarks by William Kentridge, stencils by Greg Lignon, blowouts by Michele Oka Donor, wet pulp printing by Nari Ward, and many more.

Gosin brings together original research, her own first-hand accounts, interviews with pioneering artists involved in the reinvention of printmaking and hand papermaking, and guest essays from contemporary fine artists and practitioners, including Ken Tyler, master printmaker and publisher, and Jennifer Farrell, curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Along with the visual and historical treasure trove, readers can explore sculptural techniques, innovations, and extensive resources.
