Courses on Asian and European paper

Identification of Asian Paper - you only see what you know
Horn
7-11 November 2011

Lecturer: Dipl. Ing. Gangolf Ulbricht

    This course is designed for librarians, archivists,
    antiquarians, bookbinders, conservators, anyone else, who is
    interested in the topic.

    The course is comprised of a theoretical and a practical
    training.

    The knowledge about various Asian papers is gained via
    understanding of the raw material, the procedure of paper making
    in Asia and due to own fibre-preparation and paper-making in
    Asian style. The resulting self made samples form a valuable
    collection for comparing with paper to be identified. With
    simple methods, available to everyone for example Chinese,
    Japanese and Thai papers can be distinguished.

    Films and a collection of samples support the oral lectures.

    The course is restricted to 8 participants. Course languages:
    English and German (Kurs auf Deutsch und English)

    The course fee is 700.00 Euros plus 10% VAT, 600.00 Euros plus

Identification of European Paper: You only see what you know
Horn
31 October - 4 November 2011

Lecturer: Dipl. Ing. Gangolf Ulbricht

    This course is designed for librarians, archivists, antiquars,
    bookbinders, conservators, anyone else, who is interested in the
    topic.

    The course is comprised of a theoretical and a practical
    training.

    Historic raw material and traditional techniques will give the
    starting topic to this course. Then paper samples are made. Thus
    knowledge about paper is gained and material for comparing is
    created. This step by step approach enables the participants to
    understanding the material and "read" the paper with simple
    methods. Sound, stiffness, mould-structure, paper structure,
    water marks and so on can supply us with valuable information
    concerning age and conservators decision making but also enable
    us to identify exceptions in paper production. Machine-made
    papers and special papers will be also dealt with. Films and a
    collection of samples support the oral lectures.
