Rosie Kelly guides readers through the process of turning painted paste papers into simple, well-crafted handmade books. The book covers techniques for creating paste papers, planning page designs, and adding embellishments, with step-by-step instructions that take you from blank sheets to a finished softcover structure.
Kelly's work is included in the permanent collection of the Newberry Library in Chicago and has been featured in publications such as Letter Arts Review. This guide is well suited for artists looking to make practical use of their decorated papers or explore approachable bookmaking methods.
Includes a bonus copy of ArtPlay, a handmade book from author Rosie Kelly herself that arrives unstitched so you can practice the binding skills you learn in Beyond Paste Paper yourself.
