Parchment craft, also known as Pergamano, is the art of embellishing and decorating parchment paper (or vellum ) with techniques such as embossing, perforating, stippling, cutting and colouring.
Parchment craft is thought to have originated as an art form in Europe during the 15th century, principally in Catholic communities, where crafts persons created lace-like items such as devotional pictures and communion cards.
The craft has developed over time, with new techniques and refinements being added.
