This week, we're making paste papers to be used as covers for our visual journals.
Paste papers have been used in bookbinding for 400 years. Designs in the paste are created by drawing a tool or a finger through the paste or using a variety of tools pressed into the paste.
Because of this personal touch, the book can be viewed as an art form and the process of binding a book, a craft.
