Introduction to Basic Paper Repairs Saturday 01 June Jill will discuss and demonstrate her favourite tools and materials and how they are used to gain the best outcomes. The manipulative skills necessary for the basic repair of paper and books can be built up. They are enhanced by having an understanding of the issues and materials involved, whether it is the makeup of paper or the agents involved in its deterioration, internal and external. The quality of the materials used in paper repair is particularly important, the aim being to add nothing to the repair process which could have a long term negative impact on the original. An appreciation of the materials and factors involved leads to a critical evaluation of book and paper repair options. High hopes maybe, but being able to make a choice of an appropriate treatment, consistent with conservation practice is the ideal. Participants will receive a set of notes by email after the class.
