Paper Tearing, by H. G. Paterson (A Course in Paper Sloyd, Book II)

Following on from Paper Folding in a systematic and controlled way, Paper Tearing builds upon the foundation already laid by its predecessor and incorporates the skills acquired into more complex projects, such as boats, ships, and canoes, alongside more advanced versions of boxes, stands, and pouches.

More than a century after it was first published, Paper Tearing has been given new life and is repackaged for a whole new generation of educators and their students. This new edition features remastered technical drawings, metric conversions, and full colour photographs, to further guide you on your Paper Sloyd journey.
