How to Read This Book

Abstract

The projects in this book have been written and re-written while I was teaching them over an entire year, at my studio and other places in the world. The students’ contribution to this book is invaluable. Even if you choose not to make all the projects, I recommend reading them all in the order in which they are presented, since techniques in later projects rely on techniques introduced in earlier ones. This includes the information introduced in sidebars. The book starts with a technique that is used in almost all the other projects, then advances from simple techniques to more and more complicated ones. Some projects combine techniques that were demonstrated in earlier projects.
