Learn a new, creative way to use paper to make art! Chinese style paper reliefs are three-dimensional images marked by interesting texture and appealing beauty. From small works for display on a table or desk, to interior decoration or even large works for public spaces, the range of the paper relief art form is demonstrated in this book. 

Divided into elementary, intermediate and advanced sections, the book starts with the simplest techniques, which can be mastered readily, bringing your imagination and creativity to light. The intermediate course guides readers to change and restructure basic techniques, enabling proficiency through the process of completing works. The advanced course focuses on works that appear sophisticated and complex while still evolving from simple elementary techniques.
