Review by Library Journal Review

Drawing upon her years of experience teaching both online and onsite in locations such as the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, Hand leads aspiring artists through the process of creating handmade art from paper products in this engaging how-to guide, which is part of the publisher's "Art Makers" series. Hand begins by covering the necessary tools and materials and includes recipes for two different kinds of paste before offering more than a dozen different projects, ranging from a planter to holiday ornaments, with which users can practice their new-found skills. Put this together with Hand's sunny instructional style, and you have an excellent introduction to the distinctive charms of papier-mâché. VERDICT If the last time you heard the words papier-mâché was in kindergarten art class, it is time to rediscover the eco-friendly, totally accessible delights of this artistic medium.--John Charles, formerly of Scottsdale P.L., AZ
