Dear all,
I want to invite you to my upcoming workshop: Conservation Enclosures
Protective enclosures are made to support and protect your books from environmental damages, to support frail books and to hold materials together in one place. 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 two archival enclosures that enable one 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 a self-closing wrapper. 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.

In person workshop - Saturday January 25, 11-5 - Registration closes Jan. 11 - Center for Book Arts - 28 West 27th St. NYC
Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.

"All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place." 1984 by George Orwell
