Space is still available in this fall workshop. An introduction to
book conservation, this course will cover restoration and repair of
cloth and leather bindings using the combination of Japanese paper
and linen for rebacking and corner repair with leather as an
alternative. Students should bring books in need of treatment and/or
repair, both cloth and leather bindings, to work on during class. No
prerequisite is required for this class.

This workshop takes place at the American Academy of Bookbinding at
Hollander's in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Hollander's School of Book and
Paper Arts was established in 1994. Students will be provided with a
list of housing options and will make their own housing
arrangements.
