One of the book's strengths lies in Price's emphasis on creativity and self-expression. He encourages readers to trust their instincts and provides ample opportunities for experimentation.

Additionally, Price's suggestions for finding inspiration and developing one's artistic voice are invaluable for those looking to take their collage-making to the next level.

I was provided an advanced copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Beautiful ideas and pictures. Reading this filled me with creativity and motivation to work on collage. The different types of collage were well introduced.

A beautiful, helpful, instructive artist's guide with step-by-step instructions on how to use a grid method to make your own masterpiece with little scraps of magazine paper. To sum up:
* Choose a photograph.
* Use an app to put gridlines on the photo and print it out.
* Use a sharpie to draw gridlines on your canvas (which should be thick: watercolor paper, wood or a stretched canvas).
* Find high-quality magazines you can cut into little bits.
* Don latex or nitrile gloves.
* Put liquid glue (the author recommends Litquitex or Golden, no Elmer's or Modgepodge) in a little tray.
* Dip your tiny scraps, one at a time, in the glue then place them on the canvas on the corresponding grid points.
* Start with the eyes and work out from there.

This generous artist also has a helpful website, artistsamuelprice.com, in which he offers free video lessons and pdfs you can download of all the materials you'll need to try to do the brilliant work he does. I am excited to give this method a try!

I'm grateful to Netgalley and Walter Foster Publishing for providing me with a free ebook for me to review, but this is a book I will buy to have in my art how-to collection.

I received an electronic copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Using reference images in the same ratio as your canvas and a grid technique to help you focus on one square at a time, this book teaches you how to make your own beautiful paper collage artwork.

Fourteen increasingly more challenging projects build your skill and increase your comfort zone (hopefully). Each project is inspired by a particular artist's work, and you get a mini lesson in art history before you start.

IMHO--although a level of cautionary tips are welcome and useful, I found it disconcerting how many times the words "mistake" and "failure" showed up in the text.

Paper Collage Workshop is a well written and illustrated practical guide to collage as a fine art medium. Released 8th Nov 2022 by Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 128 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. 

Author Samuel Price has an engaging and accessible teaching style and the whole manual has the feel of a well organized and effective workshop. The introduction covers tools, supplies, methodology, and some color theory. The introduction also shows readers how to produce reference photos (VERY useful info here), what supplies to use, and step-by-step instruction for producing finished learning projects. Project tutorials include a bullet list of tools and supplies and instructions numbered in sequential steps. 

All of the tutorials are well photographed with clear, color photos which are easy to understand and happily without hands or tools obscuring the action. Although the finished projects are clearly highly professional and artistic/painterly, a keen beginner could use the instruction contained in the book to produce works in collage from start to finish. There is an abbreviated gallery with thumbnails for inspiration included at the back of the book. There is no bibliography or index in the review copy provided for review.

Five stars. This would be a superlative choice for public or school library acquisition, home artist's studio, activity/makers' groups, classroom/workshop use, and similar needs. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Some great idea’s, easy to follow guide. I love the step by step instructions.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This book blew my mind. I had no idea you could do so much with paper collage. I mean I’ve done the tissue paper collage but this is real art. (Not the tissue paper isn’t) The author explains it so well it really does seem doable.

Impressive works of Art with Collage techniques. I think this is not for the complete beginner, it is more for people who already do some kind of collage. The Pets part is the most difficult. My favorite part is the one about Landscape collage. Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have done a little collage, but it was always a hit and miss exercise, and then a read this book which answered a lot of questions for me.
Starting from chapters on tools and material, color wheel and circles. To projects such as flowers, color landscape, black and white self portrait and ending with collage portrait of a cat and a dog. The workshop is joy to follow.
Working on a grid pattern, the collage material is applied to bring out the shape, shadows, features and perspective of the final collage.
A fabulous workshop that I found very informative, easy to follow and gave a great image in the end.
Thanks you NetGalley and the publishers for the DRC

I thoroughly enjoyed Paper Collage Workshop by Samuel Price. True to its name, this book feels very much like a workshop, leading the reader through the absolute basics first before progressing to increasingly difficult skills and projects. The final projects are way beyond my level, but that's fine. No matter where you are in terms of collage experience, this book has something for you.

I love this book and so did my kids.

Paper collage looks amazing and the author makes it seems really easy.

There are projects to work on with increasing difficulty. The first project tied in nicely with one of my homeschooled kids lesson which was great.

I hope to one day be able to achieve skill level the author has. Definitely a new hobby for us.

I create paper collages in my spare time but Samuel Price has introduced me to a range of new collage ideas and techniques to try. From fruit still life to abstract stripes, geometric boxes and sunflowers, Samuel's style is very unique and he has clear step-by-step instructions on how to create the finished product. The cat, dog and selfie portraits fascinate me the most as they involve cutting, pasting and placing tiny squares onto a canvas. The finished results are incredible. I feel there are lots of great ideas to try here and expand my collage practice.

I have experience with paper collage. Nevertheless I found heppful tips. It is written clearly and understandably and has photographs that work in tandem with the instructions.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC. This is my honest review.

I bought this book for our library because it’s the ultimate paper collage book, teaching step by step how to create and recreate beautiful works of art in paper. Chock full of info, there’s much to learn, read, and create.

The author (Samuel Price) offers a colourful perspective, bravo! 👏 So many beautiful possibilities with collage!
(Thanks also to Net Galley for this Book).

Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Photos are a big help in visualizing the project you want to put together. Each project or “lesson” is a piece of the puzzle to let the reader/creator have a successful final project. I would highly recommend this book for someone who wants to get started in collages.

This book will introduce you, step-by-step how to create collage art. This book is both for novies and expereinecd artists working in other mediums. Thank you to netgalley for the arc,

This tutorial takes collage to an entirely different level by creating one artistic image out of paper scraps of varying shades and colors. Samuel Price covers every detail: supplies, techniques, types of papers the work better than others down to the fact that thick high quality glossy magazines the best for this medium. I haven’t attempted any pieces yet, but plan to start with the Sunflower. The dog is amazing and I’m looking forward to trying that but think. I’d better get some practice first.
The instructions are short and sweet. Colorful, clear,photographs illustrate all of the steps. Photographs also illustrate the supplies needed or supplies to choose from, so in one photograph you can see 5 or 6 sealants that the author recommends. I find this easier that looking for supply lists or text. This is a nice book for ,anyone who,wants to explore a new medium or technique. Thank you #netgalley for this ARC of #PaperCollageWorkshop
