Magical Secrets about Chine Collé: Pasting, Printing, Mounting and Leafing Step-by-Step, by Brian Shure
This book is an expanded and revised version of the popular (and now out-of-print) Chine Collé: A Printer’s Handbook, by Brian Shure, published by Crown Point in 2000. The new book gives step-by-step instructions for printing and pasting to a support sheet, and adapts chine collé techniques for working with collage and mounting paper, fabric, and other materials with or without a press. Additional chapters discuss sizing paper or fabric, gold leafing and scroll mounting. Instructional DVD included!
