Recenzje

"This book is fantastic and timely. The writing style is clear and articulate, and it is extremely well researched and organized. The appendices are extensive and full of valuable information on paper and plant choices. As an artist/educator who teaches plant-based printing, I will be adding this to my toolbox!"
Anne Eder, Penumbra Foundation NYC and Harvard University Ceramics Program
