Protective enclosures are made to support and protect your books
from environmental damages.  Additionally for the artist they can
also serve as an extension of their book to enhance their
presentation and provide another surface where one can customize the
box to reflect the contents.  Learn to make three simple archival
enclosures that enable you to store your books in an acid free
protective environment.  We will make the archival phase box
enclosure used by the Library of Congress, as an alternative to the
clamshell box and in addition a case wrapper with hard covers and a
self-closing wrapper.  If time permits, we will also create storage
for a pamphlet.  The class will cover do's and don'ts in
conservation enclosures and materials, show examples of damages from
bad conservation practices along with learning to measure for custom
fit, creating jigs, adhesives, and other helpful hints.  For the
book artist, librarian and collector.  No experience necessary,just
come with your books.

Most materials are  included in the price.  Students will need a
basic bookbinding kit.  See CBA site for more details.

Ms. Pisano, an adjunct professor, teaches papermaking, printing,
bookbinding and conservation.  Additionally she presents workshops
at venues such as The Center for Book Arts in New York, Professione
Libro in Italy, The Morgan Conservatory and at her studio.
