Every aspect of papermaking is described: from how to approach this fascinating medium and invite participants to explore its alchemical potential, to the practical details and endless therapeutic adaptations that can be made. But it doesn’t stop there: More than a book on papermaking, it offers a soul-stirring testimony to the work of reclamation – as people courageously free the fibers of their military uniforms, baby blankets, public records, t-shirts, love and hate letters, and more – to be pulped, recast, and transformed with radical insights that inspire far-reaching transformations in their lives.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynn Kapitan, \u003cb\u003ePh.D., ATR-BC, HLM, \u003c\/b\u003eprofessor emerit of graduate and doctoral art therapy and author, \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Art Therapy Research\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The Art \u0026amp; Art Therapy of Papermaking is an accessible guide to transforming meaningful materials and experiences into sheets of paper and works of art.
