Plaster: Creative Plasterwork in 25 Beautiful Projects (Craft Workshop)

Rating:
Summary: A good start
Review: I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I have a background in ornamental plaster and enjoyed learning about the various finishes that can be applied to plaster. It does not really get into any mold making but does show some process...I think the book is primarily useful for those interested in faux finishing. If you restore picture frames or other ornamental plaster work, this is a good reference. They also have a good list of suppliers in the back. Also...those art teachers out there...good ideas for working with kids on simple class projects. Buy the book and keep it around as reference.

Summary: not worth the money
Review: This book was useless, I returned it immediately. The author relies on beautiful photos to make it look like something special. This is ok if you are into the "martha stewart " making crafty little things for around the house. It has "projects" like making cookie cutter cutouts from the plaster. Not useful for anything but doing this type of work. I found it to be so basic that it bordered on laughable.
