In this class we’ll cover introductory methods of cleaning (dry), flattening and mending printed or manuscript (ink or pencil) paper documents. We’ll also discuss the best methods for storing documents. Common paper conservation materials and tools will be used, and class participants will leave with list of resources for future use. We will be mending paper with Japanese tissue and paste, and will cover paper pH, grain, fiber and stretch. Participants are encouraged to bring non-precious practice documents or examples of their collections if they have any, as part of the class will be a show and tell of common paper problems, predicaments and situations that present themselves to the paper collector or custodian. An introductory tool kit is provided for each participant to use during class and then keep for use on future projects.

Please bring your favorite stylus or bone folder, sponges and paint tools, wood graining tools, texture combs and whatever else you think might be fun to try (I’ll have some available, so don’t worry if you don’t have any of the above).
