Workshop on book conservation skills for paper conservators

Workshop

"Book conservation skills for paper conservators"
Icon Scotland Group
159 Causewayside
Edinburgh
20-21 September 2016

Icon Scotland Group is hosting a two-day theory and practical
workshop from 20-21 September 2016 at the National Library of
Scotland.  The workshop is run by Icon-accredited book conservator,
Caroline Scharfenberg.

The boundaries between book and paper conservation are clearly
fluid; book conservators can benefit from specialist paper
conservation knowledge while paper conservators often need to know
more about bound material when working with mixed collections.  This
workshop helps paper conservators gain a basic knowledge about book
structures and the typical damage found in book collections.  These
skills will enable paper conservators to stabilise book collections
and to better assess damage and the required repair.  Additionally
it will help paper conservators to define the boundaries of their
own knowledge about bound material and know when best to bring in a
professional accredited book conservator.  Places are limited, fees
are UKP150 to icon Members, UKP175 to non-Members.  For enquiries

Bookings and payments are through Eventbrite:
